V-Loc™ Wound Closure Device Product Codes and Sizes

The V-Loc™ wound closure device is a revolutionary technology

that supports optimal patient outcomes by closing wounds securely

without the need to tie knots.

This guide showcases the available sizes with all applicable needles.

V-Loc™ Device...The Secure Advantage

Barb Design

V-Loc™ Device Stratafix™* Spiral Barbing Technology

Dual-Angle Cut

Cut Depth

Strand Depth

Single-Angle Cut

V-Loc™ device utilizes a dual-angle-cut which creates a superior anchoring barb2 while optimizing the strand’s integrity.

Dual-Angle CutProduces barbs with strong anchoring force while preserving the integrity of the strand’s strength.

Single-Angle CutMust select between:

• High-cut angle that produces strong anchoring barbs but compromises the strand’s strength, or

• Low-cut angle that produces flimsy barbs but preserves the strand’s strength

Cut Depth

Strand Depth

The V-Loc™ device provides greater strength and security compared to the Stratafix™* Spiral barbing technology. The unique dual angle cut and barbing pattern of the V-Loc™ device creates the optimal barbing technology, which is backed by four years of clinical experience and supported by level one evidence.1,2

360 Anchoring BarbsStratafix™* Spiral 3-0, 18”†

Barbing PatternV-Loc™ device utilizes an optimized barbing pattern that produces up to 2.5x the number of anchoring barbs as the Stratafix™* Spiral barbing technology.2

V-Loc™ Device Stratafix™* Spiral Barbing Technology

†V-Loc™ Device 4/0 and Stratafix™* 3/0 have equivalent tensile strengths

Strength of ClosureEven with the additional barbs, V-Loc™ Device demonstrates almost 80% greater securitycompared to Stratafix™* Spiral.3
