Product Overview
The Covidien V-Loc 90 Wound Closure Device (VLOCM3225) is an absorbable barbed suture designed for secure wound closure without the need for knots. It features a polyester-based monofilament construction with a GS-21 1/2 circle taper point needle (size 2-0), ensuring precise tissue penetration and reduced trauma. The barbed design provides consistent tension distribution, minimizing slippage and enhancing wound approximation.
Features:
- Absorbable Material: Gradually breaks down in the body, eliminating the need for suture removal.
- Barbed Monofilament: Self-anchoring structure eliminates knot tying, reducing operative time.
- Taper Point Needle: Sharp, precision-engineered for smooth tissue penetration.
- Consistent Wound Support: Maintains even tension for optimal healing.
Specifications:
- Needle Type: GS-21 1/2 circle taper point
- Suture Size: 2-0
- Material: Polyester-based absorbable monofilament
- Length: 90 cm
Use Suggestion:
Ideal for soft tissue approximation in general, plastic, and gynecological surgeries. Suitable for subcutaneous and fascial closure, where secure, knot-free suturing is preferred. Ensure proper technique to maximize the barbed suture’s anchoring benefits. Store in a dry, controlled environment before use.
