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 PLUS is a synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and coated with an antibacterial agent (triclosan) to inhibit bacterial colonisation of the suture surface, helping reduce the risk of surgical site infection.
This USP 3-0 violet suture is supplied in a 70 cm length and is armed with a single-armed 24 mm reverse cutting needle with a 3/8 circle curvature, delivering clean incision and excellent control for skin and firmer soft tissue closure where accuracy is essential.
VICRYL PLUS sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, resulting in minimal tissue reaction and predictable tensile strength retention during early wound healing. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 36 for professional hospital and surgical environments.
