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 ETHILON™ Black Monofilament Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W797BG, is designed for secure soft tissue approximation where substantial tensile strength and extended strand length are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable nylon monofilament, ETHILON provides smooth tissue passage, minimal tissue reactivity and dependable long-term wound support.
The USP 1 size delivers high tensile performance suitable for fascia closure, abdominal procedures and high-tension soft tissue approximation. The extended 40 inch (100 cm) strand length offers increased working reach, making it particularly suitable for deeper operative fields and longer suture lines.
W797BG is supplied single-armed (S/A) with one KP-3 conventional cutting needle measuring approximately 36–40 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The conventional cutting configuration supports effective penetration through tougher tissue such as skin and fascia while maintaining precise wound edge alignment.
Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12 sutures, this product is intended for professional hospital and surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
