Intended purpose
Q-close PolyP is intended for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic and neurological tissues.
Functional description
Q-close PolyP being a monofilament suture is remarkably smooth and easy to handle. It does not have interstices in its structure and being a monofilament suture, has been successfully employed in surgical wounds which could subsequently become infected or contaminated where it can minimize later sinus formation and suture extrusion. It elicits a minimal initial inflammatory reaction in tissues which is followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissue.
