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 VICRYL RAPIDE is a sterile synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and engineered for rapid absorption and short-term wound support.
The braided construction offers excellent handling and reliable knot security, making it suitable for soft tissue approximation where extended tensile strength retention is not required.
This USP 0 undyed variant measures 90 cm in length and is supplied with a 36 mm 1/2 circle tapercut needle. The tapercut design combines a tapered body with a cutting tip to support controlled penetration through denser or fibrous tissue.
VICRYL RAPIDE is designed to lose tensile strength more rapidly than standard VICRYL sutures, making it ideal for skin closure and procedures requiring short-term support.
Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional surgical environments.
