Collection details
SutureVet's absorbable dental veterinary sutures are the preferred choice for intraoral wound closure in veterinary patients, eliminating the need for suture removal in a location that is difficult to access and stressful for both patient and clinician. Absorbable materials dissolve naturally through hydrolysis or enzymatic degradation, with absorption timelines carefully matched to mucosal and gingival healing rates.
Our absorbable dental suture range includes fast-absorbing options ideal for gingival flap closure and extraction sites where rapid mucosal healing is expected, as well as standard-absorption materials for more complex oral soft tissue repairs requiring longer wound support. Both monofilament and braided absorbable constructions are available, with fine gauges and atraumatic intraoral needle profiles suited to veterinary dental procedures in dogs, cats, rabbits, and other species.
Choosing the right absorbable dental suture reduces post-operative complications, eliminates the need for a second anaesthetic for suture removal, and improves the overall patient experience. All products are supplied sterile and individually packaged from ISO-certified manufacturers trusted by veterinary dental specialists across the UK.

This PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code EP7403H, is developed for precise vascular and fine soft tissue approximation where atraumatic handling and reliable tensile performance are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound support.
The USP 6-0 (Metric 0.7) diameter offers refined handling characteristics while maintaining suitable tensile strength for delicate tissue layers. The 75 cm strand length provides flexibility and improved reach during controlled placement and secure knot tying.
This suture is fitted with a BV-1 taper point needle. The taper point configuration enables atraumatic penetration by separating tissue fibres rather than cutting, making it appropriate for vascular and soft tissue closure where minimal tissue trauma is critical. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
