The Covidien VLOCM0644 V-Loc™ 90 is a synthetic absorbable barbed monofilament suture designed for efficient wound closure without the need for knots. Made from Glycomer 631, a copolymer of glycolide, dioxanone, and trimethylene carbonate, this suture offers predictable absorption and tensile strength. The suture is uncoated and comes in a violet color, making it easily visible during procedures. It is supplied sterile and is intended for single-use only.

Featuring a 3-0 size and a 9-inch length, the V-Loc™ 90 suture is equipped with a V-20 needle, which is a 1/2-circle taper point needle with a 26 mm length. The unidirectional barbs on the suture allow for precise tissue engagement, distributing tension evenly across the wound. This design eliminates the need for knots, potentially reducing complications associated with knot tying and streamlining the suturing 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.
