Covidien VLOCL0346 V-Loc™ 180 Absorbable Wound Closure Device | Size 3-0 | Monofilament Barbed | 18 in (45 cm) | V-20 Taper Point Needle (1/2 Circle, 26 mm) | Green | Box of 12 | Sterile | New

Expiration: 2027-08-31

The Covidien VLOCL0346 V-Loc™ 180 Absorbable Wound Closure Device is an advanced knotless tissue closure system engineered for efficient, consistent, and secure wound approximation. 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.

Key Features

• Self-anchoring unidirectional barbs and end-loop design eliminate the need for third hands or knot tying
• Reduces closure time while maintaining uniform tension distribution across the entire incision line
• V-20 taper point needle ensures smooth, precise tissue penetration with minimal disruption
• Synthetic absorbable copolymer composition delivers reliable mid-term wound support through critical healing phases
• Monofilament construction minimizes tissue drag and reduces the risk of bacterial harboring
