Corza Medical RS-1000Q Quill MONODERM 2-0 16X16 Double-Armed Undyed RB-1 13mm BX/12 • Model: RS-1000Q • Brand: Quill MONODERM • Suture Size: 2-0 • Length: 16X16 (cm) • Color: Undyed • Material/Composition: Synthetic Monofilament • Absorbable • Needle Name: RB-1 • Needle Color: Silver • Needle Length: 18mm • Needle Point Type: Taper Point 1/2 Circle The RS‑1000Q Quill MONODERM 2‑0 double-armed barbed suture is a biodegradable, monofilament, absorbable suture designed for soft tissue approximation in surgical closures. Unlike traditional sutures that require multiple knots to secure tension, this suture incorporates a barbed, helical design along its length that allows it to anchor in tissue as it is advanced. Because the barbs resist backward movement, the suture maintains tension without the need for tying knots at every pass, which can reduce surgical time and bulk at the closure site. With a double-armed configuration, the RS‑1000Q features two needles (one at each end), each connected to a 16 cm section of the suture (i.e. 16 × 16). Surgeons can approach closure from both ends of the wound or use opposing passes of the barbed suture to approximate tissue in a symmetric fashion. The use of RB‑1 needles of 18 mm length is well suited for many soft tissue closures that require moderate curvature and reach without being excessively bulky. The undyed (clear) color helps minimize visual contrast in cosmetically sensitive zones. Because rs‑1000Q is made of Monoderm, it’s designed to be short‑term absorbable: it retains a significant portion of its tensile strength in early wound healing (e.g. ~42‑76% at 7 days, ~36‑52% at 14 days) and is typically fully absorbed by about 90 days. This absorption profile is well matched to many soft tissue repair needs (e.g. dermis, subcutis) where long-term suture presence is not desired. In clinical use, the RS‑1000Q provides a balance of ease of handling, dependable tensile support during the critical early healing period, and a cleaner closure by eliminating multiple knots that might otherwise contribute to bulk or irritation.
