Indications, Safety, and Warnings

Description

The V-Loc wound closure device replaces tedious knot tying with hundreds of tiny barbs that evenly distribute tension along the wound — significantly reducing suture time and may improve wound healing outcomes.^†,‡,1,2

The barbs of the V-Loc™ device pass smoothly through tissue and then firmly lock into place. The V-Loc™ device resists migration and maintains tension of the suture line..^§,3

The V-Loc™ device uses a dual-angle cut that creates a strong anchoring barb.^◊,4

† As compared to conventional sutures.

‡ Based on gynecology study.

§ V-Loc™ device launched in 2009.
