Functional description

Endoloop, a single-use medical device for endoscopic procedures, includes a plastic tube (Nylon 12, length 30.5cm) that is narrowed on one end and scored on the other. A suture length is formed into a ligature loop with a knot, becoming secure when the device is activated. The opposite end of the suture is fastened to the scored end, which acts as a handle. The VICRYL (Polyglactin 910) suture is a synthetic, absorbable sterile suture composed of a copolymer of 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide.
