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 a synthetic absorbable monofilament surgical suture manufactured from poliglecaprone 25 and coated with triclosan to inhibit bacterial colonisation along the suture line.
This USP 3-0 suture is supplied in a 70 cm length and features a violet monofilament construction for excellent visibility during placement. It is double-armed with two Taperpoint Plus needles measuring 26 mm, each with a 1/2 circle curvature, allowing efficient bidirectional suturing with smooth, atraumatic tissue passage and precise needle control.
MONOCRYL PLUS sutures provide predictable tensile strength retention followed by reliable absorption, making them suitable for tissues requiring short-term wound support. They elicit minimal tissue reaction while maintaining excellent handling and knot security. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional surgical environments.
