V-Loc™ 180 Absorbable Wound Closure Device – Model VLOCL0326

General Description:

The V-Loc™ 180 Absorbable Wound Closure Device (Model VLOCL0326) is an innovative suturing solution designed for fast, reliable, and efficient wound closure. It uses unidirectional barbed sutures to eliminate the need for knot-tying, ensuring secure closure while reducing operative time. The device is made of absorbable materials, making it ideal for soft tissue approximation in various surgical procedures.

Technical Specifications:

Medical Applications:

• Wound closure in general surgery.
• Gynecological surgeries such as hysterectomy or cesarean section.
• Plastic and reconstructive surgeries requiring precise closure.
• Urological procedures.
• Soft tissue approximation in laparoscopic and open surgeries.

Key Features:

1. Unidirectional Barbed Suture:
   • Eliminates the need for knots, reducing operative time.
2. Absorbable Material:
   • Provides adequate tensile strength during the healing phase and absorbs completely within 180 days.
3. Secure and Even Tension Distribution:
   • Barbs distribute tension evenly along the wound, promoting faster healing and reducing the risk of dehiscence.
4. Taper-Point Needle:
   • Minimizes trauma to surrounding tissues.
5. Pre-Sterilized and Ready-to-Use:
   • Convenient and ensures safety by minimizing contamination risks.

Compatibility and Usage:

• Suitable for use in open and laparoscopic procedures.
• Ideal for soft tissue approximation in patients where absorbable sutures are appropriate.

Certifications and Approvals:

• FDA Approved.
• CE Certified.
• Complies with international safety and quality standards for surgical devices.

Patient and User Benefits:

• Time-Saving: Faster wound closure due to the absence of knot-tying.
• Reduced Tissue Trauma: Even tension distribution minimizes strain on tissues.
• Improved Healing: Secure closure reduces the risk of complications like wound reopening.
• Convenience: Absorbable suture eliminates the need for removal, enhancing patient comfort.

Warnings and Precautions:

• For single-use only; do not reuse or re-sterilize.
• Ensure proper technique to achieve optimal results.
• Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
• Not suitable for patients with known sensitivities to synthetic absorbable materials.
