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, rapidly absorbable surgical suture composed of polyglactin 910 and specially processed to accelerate absorption, providing short-term wound support during the early stages of healing.
This USP 2-0 undyed suture is supplied in a 90 cm length in a single-armed configuration, designed for soft tissue approximation where rapid absorption and minimal long-term tensile strength retention are desirable.
VICRYL RAPIDE sutures are absorbed more rapidly than standard VICRYL by hydrolysis, resulting in minimal tissue reaction and reducing the need for suture removal in appropriate cases. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 36 for professional hospital and clinical environments.

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 produce 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 colouring enhances visibility against tissue, aiding accurate suture placement during procedures.
This variant is supplied in USP 3/0, 75 cm length, and fitted with an HR 20 (20 mm) reverse cutting needle. Reverse cutting needles feature the cutting edge on the outer curvature, reducing tissue cut-out risk while providing controlled penetration for skin and tougher tissue closure.
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 sutures, individually packaged to maintain sterility and suitability for professional surgical use.
