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 is a sterile, synthetic, absorbable surgical suture composed of a copolymer made of 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide (polyglactin 910). The suture is braided and coated to enhance handling characteristics, knot security and smooth tissue passage.
This USP 4-0 violet suture is supplied as five 70 cm (27 inch) non-needled strands per unit, designed for ligation and soft tissue approximation procedures where a needle is not required.
VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis and have been shown to be nonantigenic, nonpyrogenic and to elicit only a slight tissue reaction during absorption. Each strand is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 24 for professional hospital and clinical environments.

Ethicon VICRYL is a synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910, designed to provide dependable wound support with predictable absorption and minimal tissue reaction.
This USP 3-0 violet suture is supplied in a 20 cm length and is armed with a single-armed 22 mm Taper Point needle featuring a ski configuration. The ski needle profile supports controlled access and precise placement in specialised or constrained operative approaches, allowing smooth tissue penetration with excellent handling.
VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, resulting in gradual and predictable loss of tensile strength as healing progresses. The braided construction ensures excellent handling and secure knot performance. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 24 for professional hospital and clinical environments.
