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.

LUXAMID Nylon Non-Absorbable Monofilament Surgical Sutures are intended for general soft tissue approximation and ligation where long-term tensile strength is required. Manufactured from high-quality polyamide monofilament, these sutures are non-absorbable and exhibit minimal tissue reaction.
The smooth monofilament construction provides low tissue drag, excellent handling characteristics, and reliable knot security, supporting precise placement and consistent clinical performance. The blue colour enhances visibility against tissue, aiding accurate suture placement during procedures.
Supplied in USP 0, 75 cm length, and fitted with a DS 24 (24 mm) cutting needle designed to cut cleanly through tougher tissue such as skin. Cutting needles are particularly suitable for skin closure and procedures requiring controlled penetration and precise incision.
LUXAMID nylon sutures are widely used in hospitals, clinics, and surgical centres for skin closure, general surgery, and plastic surgery applications where non-absorbable wound support is required. Each box contains 12 sterile, individually packaged sutures.

Ethicon VICRYL RAPIDE is a sterile synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and engineered for rapid absorption and short-term tensile strength retention.
The braided construction provides excellent handling characteristics and reliable knot security, making it suitable for delicate soft tissue approximation where extended wound support is not required.
This USP 8-0 violet variant measures 30 cm in length and is supplied with a 6.5 mm 3/8 circle reverse spatula needle, specifically designed for precise, layered tissue penetration in ophthalmic and microsurgical procedures.
VICRYL RAPIDE is formulated to lose tensile strength more rapidly than standard VICRYL sutures, making it ideal for fine, short-term closure applications.
Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional surgical environments.
