Antibacterial Veterinary Sutures

SutureVet's antibacterial veterinary sutures incorporate antimicrobial technology directly into the suture material, providing an additional layer of protection against surgical site infection (SSI) throughout the critical early healing period. As SSI remains one of the most significant post-operative complications in veterinary surgery, antibacterial sutures represent an evidence-based strategy for reducing infection risk in high-risk patients and procedures.

Our antibacterial suture range features sutures coated or impregnated with triclosan, a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent that inhibits bacterial colonisation of the suture strand — the primary site of biofilm formation and infection seeding in surgical wounds. Available in both absorbable and non-absorbable constructions, monofilament and braided, our antibacterial range covers the most commonly performed veterinary surgical procedures across all species.

Antibacterial sutures are particularly recommended for contaminated or dirty wounds, immunocompromised patients, prolonged surgical procedures, and implant surgery where infection risk is elevated. All products are supplied sterile and individually packaged from ISO-certified manufacturers trusted by veterinary surgeons across the UK.
