• Attributes: Therapeutic

Intended Use

Quill™ Knotless Tissue-Closure Device comprised of Polypropylene is indicated for soft tissue approximation excluding closure of the epidermis.

Device Story

Quill™ Polypropylene Knotless Tissue-Closure Device is a sterile, synthetic, nonabsorbable surgical suture. Device consists of high molecular weight, isotactic polypropylene monofilament featuring uni-directional barbs along its long axis to facilitate tissue anchoring without knots. Distal end incorporates a welded primary and secondary loop design. Used by surgeons for soft tissue approximation; excludes epidermal closure. Device provides mechanical tension to hold tissue edges together during healing. Benefits include elimination of knot-tying, potentially reducing procedure time and improving tension distribution across the wound.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Testing conducted to confirm conformance to USP monograph for nonabsorbable sutures regarding tensile strength and needle attachment, per FDA's Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Surgical Sutures (2003).

Technological Characteristics

Material: High molecular weight, isotactic polypropylene (undyed or dyed with Phthalocyaninato (2-) Copper). Design: Monofilament with uni-directional barbs and welded primary/secondary loop at distal end. Form factor: Size 0, various lengths and needle types. Nonabsorbable. Sterilization: Sterile.

Indications for Use

Indicated for soft tissue approximation in patients requiring surgical closure, excluding closure of the epidermis.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Nonabsorbable polypropylene surgical suture is a monofilament, nonabsorbable, sterile, flexible thread prepared from long-chain polyolefin polymer known as polypropylene and is indicated for use in soft tissue approximation. The polypropylene surgical suture meets United States Pharmacopeia (U.S.P.) requirements as described in the U.S.P. Monograph for Nonabsorbable Surgical Sutures; it may be undyed or dyed with an FDA approved color additive; and the suture may be provided with or without a standard needle attached.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is FDA's “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Surgical Sutures; Guidance for Industry and FDA.” See § 878.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.

Predicate Devices

• Quill™ Nonabsorbable Polypropylene Barbed Suture (K052373)
• Quill™ PDO Knotless Tissue-Closure Device, Variable Loop Design (K113744)

Indications for Use:

Substantial Equivalence:

Performance tests:

Quill™ Knotless Tissue-Closure Device comprised of Polypropylene is indicated for soft tissue approximation excluding closure of the epidermis.

The QuillTM Polypropylene Knotless Tissue-Closure device, Variable Loop Design is identical in material composition and intended use to the QuillTM Polypropylene Barbed Suture predicate. The proposed device is identical in design to the QuillTM PDO and QuillTM Monoderm™ Knotless Tissue-Closure Device, Variable Loop Design predicate devices.

Non-clinical laboratory performance testing was conducted to confirm that the Quill™ Polypropylene Knotless Tissue-Closure device, Variable Loop Design, conforms to the USP monograph for nonabsorbable sutures for tensile strength (as applicable) and needle attachment. This testing was performed in accordance with FDA's Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Surgical Sutures, Issued June 3, 2003.

The results of this testing demonstrates that the QuillTM Polypropylene Knotless Tissue-Closure device, Variable Loop Design, is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
