The Covidien V-Loc™ 90 Suture is an absorbable, knotless wound closure device designed to improve surgical efficiency and deliver consistent tissue approximation. Its unidirectional barbed structure anchors the suture securely without the need for knots, reducing closure time and minimizing tension across the wound.
V-Loc™ 90 is commonly used in general surgery, gynecology, plastic surgery, and minimally invasive procedures where fast, reliable closure is essential. Shah Trading Corporation, Mumbai is a distributor and supplier for the complete range of Covidien V-Loc™ sutures to hospitals, surgical centers, and distributors across India.

Product Usage
Covidien V-Loc™ 90 Sutures are used to approximate soft tissue without tying knots. Surgeons place the suture, anchor the barbs inside the tissue, and continue closing the wound in a continuous manner. The barbs hold the tissue edges in place and maintain tension until the suture is absorbed naturally during healing.
