Product Overview
The Covidien V-Loc PBT Wound Closure Device (VLOCN2145) is a high-performance, nonabsorbable barbed suture designed for secure and efficient wound closure. Made from polybutester (PBT), this monofilament suture offers excellent tensile strength, flexibility, and minimal tissue drag. The barbed design eliminates the need for knots, ensuring even tension distribution and reducing the risk of suture slippage.
Features:
- Barbed Monofilament Construction: Self-anchoring design provides secure wound closure without knots.
- Polybutester Material: High tensile strength, excellent flexibility, and low tissue reactivity.
- Taper Point Needle: Size 2-0 with a 1/2 circle GS-22 configuration for smooth tissue penetration.
- Nonabsorbable Suture: Long-term wound support for applications requiring extended healing.
- Consistent Tension Distribution: Barbs maintain uniform tension across the wound site.
Specifications:
- Suture Material: Polybutester (PBT)
- Needle Type: 1/2 Circle Taper Point (GS-22)
- Needle Size: 2-0
- Suture Length: As per packaging
- Sterility: Sterile, single-use device
Use Suggestion:
Ideal for general wound closure, plastic surgery, and dermatologic procedures where secure, knotless suturing is preferred. Suitable for areas requiring prolonged support, such as fascia or high-tension skin closures. Ensure proper technique to maximize the barbed suture’s anchoring capability.
