Medtronic VLOC In-Date
Medtronic V-LOC
The V-Loc™ Wound Closure Device, offered by Medtronic, is a barbed suture system designed to streamline wound closure by eliminating the need for knot tying. This innovative device uses bidirectional or unidirectional barbs along the suture length to secure tissue approximation, providing consistent tension and uniform closure.
Key Features of V-Loc™ Wound Closure Devices
- Barbed Design: Eliminates the need for knots, reducing closure time and simplifying the process.
- Tension Distribution: Ensures even distribution of tension across the wound, supporting better healing outcomes.
- Time Efficiency: Ideal for procedures where speed and precision are critical, such as soft tissue approximation or general surgery.
- Diverse Options: Available in various sizes, absorbable and non-absorbable materials, and lengths to accommodate a wide range of surgical applications.
These devices are widely used in laparoscopic, robotic-assisted, and open surgeries, particularly in applications requiring secure wound closure with minimal effort.
