Covidien V-Loc 180 Wound Closure Device
The Covidien V-Loc 180 Wound Closure Device is an absorbable barbed suture designed for secure wound closure without the need for knots. It features a polyglyconate monofilament construction with barbed technology, ensuring even tissue approximation and reduced slippage. The suture is pre-attached to a 1/2 circle taper point needle (V-20), facilitating smooth tissue penetration.
Key Features:
- Barbed Monofilament Suture: Eliminates the need for knots, providing consistent tension distribution.
- Absorbable Polyglyconate Material: Gradually breaks down in the body, reducing long-term foreign material presence.
- Taper Point Needle (V-20): 26 mm length, designed for precision in soft tissue closure.
