Covidien VLOCL0115 V-Loc™ 180 Absorbable Wound Closure Device | Size 3-0 | Green Monofilament Barbed Suture | 18 in (45 cm) | V-20 Taper Point Needle (1/2 Circle, 26 mm) | Box of 12 | Sterile | New

Expiration Date: 2026-11-30

The Covidien / Medtronic VLOCL0115 V-Loc™ 180 is an advanced knotless wound closure device engineered to increase surgical speed, consistency, and tension distribution. Crafted from a copolymer of glycolide, dioxanone, and trimethylene carbonate, this size 3-0 absorbable barbed monofilament features a unidirectional barb configuration with a welded loop end-anchor. This innovative design eliminates the need for manual knot tying, significantly reducing operative closure time while distributing tension evenly along the entire wound edge. Armed with a V-20 taper point needle (26 mm, 1/2 circle), it is ideal for soft tissue approximation, surgical skills labs, wound closure simulation courses, and medical device evaluation.
