Suture is loaded into the RD180™ THE RUNNING DEVICE® with an RD QUICK LOAD®. Each RD QUICK LOAD® contains a proprietary sterile suture held in a customized ferrule holder. The ferrule holder is made of semi-compliant blue plastic imprinted with a white front surface to highlight its specialized features. A short length of modified surgical stainless steel tubing, called a ferrule, is attached to the end of the suture held within the ferrule holder. The RD QUICK LOAD® also includes a detachable clear suture tube to keep the suture from tangling. The jaw receiver feature of the ferrule holder is contoured to securely accept, align and then release the gapped metal jaw located at the distal end of the RD180™ device tip. RD QUICK LOAD® products are available in excellent quality non-absorbable or absorbable suture materials in both braided and monofilament configurations.
