Product Overview
The Covidien V-Loc 180 Wound Closure Device (VLOCL2815) is an absorbable barbed monofilament suture designed for secure wound closure. It features a polyglyconate material that provides strong tensile strength and gradual absorption, eliminating the need for knot tying. The suture is pre-attached to a GS-11 1/2 circle reverse cutting needle, ensuring precise tissue penetration and reduced trauma.
### Features:
- Barbed Design: Self-anchoring technology eliminates the need for knots, providing consistent tension distribution.
- Absorbable Material: Polyglyconate suture is gradually absorbed by the body, reducing long-term foreign material presence.
- Pre-Attached Needle: GS-11 reverse cutting needle (37 mm length) for efficient tissue penetration.
- Monofilament Construction: Smooth surface minimizes tissue drag and infection risk.
- Uncoated: Ensures optimal handling and knot security (if manually tied).
