Covidien VLOCL0346 V-Loc 180 Absorbable Wound Closure Device Size 3-0 Green 18 in V-20 Needle - BX/12

Covidien VLOCL0346 V-Loc 180 Absorbable Wound Closure Device Size 3-0 Green 18 in V-20 Needle - BX/12

Featuring unidirectional barbs and a welded end-loop design, this size 3-0 green monofilament device evenly distributes tension along the suture line without requiring surgical knots. Formulated from a copolymer of glycolic acid, block copolymer of glycolide, dioxanone, and trimethylene carbonate, V-Loc™ 180 provides predictable mid-term strength retention. Equipped with a V-20 taper point needle (26 mm, 1/2 circle), it is ideally suited for soft tissue approximation, general surgery, gynecological procedures, plastic surgery, and medical training labs.
