Collection details
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.

Ethicon MONOCRYL Plus is an antibacterial absorbable monofilament surgical suture manufactured from poliglecaprone 25 and coated with triclosan (Plus Technology) to inhibit bacterial colonisation along the suture surface.
This USP 2-0 variant measures 70 cm in length and is supplied with a 30 mm 1/2 circle reverse cutting needle, designed for precise penetration through tougher tissue and skin with reduced risk of tearing.
MONOCRYL Plus provides high initial tensile strength with smooth tissue passage and predictable absorption. The monofilament structure minimises tissue drag and supports reliable wound approximation.
The triclosan coating helps reduce the risk of surgical site infection by inhibiting bacterial colonisation on the suture material.
Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 36 for professional surgical environments.
