The Covidien VLOCM1944 V-Loc™ 90 is a synthetic absorbable barbed monofilament suture designed to streamline wound closure by eliminating the need for knot tying. Crafted from Glycomer 631, a copolymer of glycolide (60%), dioxanone (14%), and trimethylene carbonate (26%), this suture offers predictable absorption and tensile strength. The unidirectional barbs precisely engage tissue at multiple points, distributing tension evenly across the wound. This design enhances wound security and potentially reduces complications associated with knot tying.

Featuring a 3-0 size and a 9-inch length, the V-Loc™ 90 suture is equipped with a CV-23 needle, a 1/2-circle taper point needle with a 17 mm length. The needle is made from Surgalloy material, ensuring durability and precision during insertion. The suture is undyed, providing a natural appearance that may be preferred in certain surgical applications. Its uncoated, barbed monofilament construction facilitates efficient tissue approximation without the need for knots, potentially reducing closure time and simplifying the surgical process.

The V-Loc™ 90 suture is suitable for various surgical procedures, including general soft tissue approximation and ophthalmic surgeries. Its absorbable nature ensures that it does not require removal, reducing patient discomfort and the risk of infection. The suture's design and material composition contribute to its strength and reliability, making it a preferred choice for many surgical applications.
