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.

Ethicon MONOCRYL PLUS is a synthetic absorbable monofilament surgical suture manufactured from poliglecaprone 25 and coated with triclosan to inhibit bacterial colonisation along the suture line.
This USP 3-0 suture is supplied in a 70 cm length and features a violet monofilament construction for excellent visibility during placement. It is double-armed with two Taperpoint Plus needles measuring 22 mm, each with a 1/2 circle curvature, allowing controlled, atraumatic passage through soft tissue and enabling efficient bidirectional suturing.
MONOCRYL PLUS sutures provide predictable tensile strength retention followed by reliable absorption, making them suitable for tissues requiring short-term wound support. They elicit minimal tissue reaction while maintaining excellent handling and knot security. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 36 for professional surgical environments.

Ethicon MONOCRYL is a sterile synthetic absorbable monofilament surgical suture manufactured from poliglecaprone 25, a copolymer of glycolide and ε-caprolactone. It is designed to provide high initial tensile strength, smooth tissue passage and predictable absorption.
This USP 2-0 violet variant measures 70 cm (27 inches) and is supplied in a double-armed configuration with SH 1/2 circle needles (Plus version), supporting symmetrical closure techniques and efficient wound approximation.
Poliglecaprone 25 has been found to be non-antigenic, non-pyrogenic and elicits only minimal tissue reaction during the absorption process. The violet colour is achieved using D&C Violet No.2 during polymerisation for enhanced visibility in the surgical field.
MONOCRYL complies with the European Pharmacopoeia requirements for sterile synthetic absorbable monofilament sutures and the United States Pharmacopoeia requirements for absorbable surgical sutures (except for slight diameter oversize as specified by the manufacturer).
Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 36 for professional surgical environments.
