The Bottom Line
• All three devices are safe and effective with proper technique
• V-Loc has the strongest evidence base (4,452 patients, 25 studies)
• V-Loc shows superior infection reduction (73% RR 0.26)
• V-Loc is the only device with endometriosis-specific RCT data
• Quill shows excellent operative time efficiency in myomectomy
• Stratafix offers gentler learning curve for less experienced surgeons
V-Loc™ is recommended for gynecological procedures, particularly endometriosis surgery:
✓ Largest evidence base with proven safety
✓ Superior infection prevention outcomes
✓ Dedicated endometriosis trial data
✓ Preserved ovarian reserve in fertility cases
Device choice should reflect surgeon experience and institutional preference
