Tuesday, 08 June 2010 |
Covidien, a provider of wound care devices, has launched V-Loc 90 device, expanding its family of V-Loc absorbable wound closure devices. The latest addition to Covidien’s knotless wound closure product line received 510(k) clearance from the FDA. Covidien has claimed that the V-Loc 90 surgical device's self-anchoring loop and barb combination enables surgeons to close dermal wounds quickly and securely without tying knots or changing standard closure techniques. It holds the wound edges together securely for the critical wound healing period, with absorption substantially complete within 180 days. It contains faster absorbing material, which is based on Covidien’s Biosyn suture technology, and absorption is essentially complete within 90 to 110 days.
