Collection details
SutureVet's avian veterinary sutures are selected for the exceptional precision and delicacy required in bird surgery. Avian patients present unique surgical challenges — thin, fragile skin, air sac anatomy, rapid metabolism, and high sensitivity to anaesthesia all demand suture materials that minimise tissue trauma, absorb predictably, and support rapid healing with minimal post-operative reactivity.
Our avian suture range focuses on ultra-fine gauge absorbable monofilament options such as poliglecaprone and polydioxanone, which offer smooth tissue passage, low reactivity, and predictable absorption suited to the faster metabolic rates of avian species. Fine braided absorbable options are also available for procedures where knot security is prioritised. Needle profiles are selected for atraumatic placement in the delicate skin and soft tissue structures of birds ranging from small passerines and budgerigars to large parrots, raptors, and waterfowl.
All products are supplied sterile and individually packaged from ISO-certified manufacturers, trusted by avian veterinary specialists, zoological practices, and wildlife rehabilitators across the UK.

This PROLENE Polypropylene Non-Absorbable Monofilament Surgical Suture, product code EPM8812SL, is engineered for permanent soft tissue approximation where high tensile strength, precision handling, and minimal tissue response are required. Manufactured from blue dyed polypropylene monofilament, the suture provides excellent long-term tensile strength retention, low tissue drag, and resistance to bacterial adherence.
The USP 24 diameter delivers very high tensile strength for demanding soft tissue and fascia closure. The 60 cm suture length offers controlled handling in procedures where a shorter working length improves precision.
EPM8812SL is supplied with two CC175-8 tapercut micro point needles, each measuring 9.3 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The tapercut micro point geometry enables clean, controlled penetration with reduced trauma, while EVERPOINT technology ensures consistent needle sharpness and predictable penetration performance.
Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this suture is intended for professional clinical and hospital environments requiring strong, permanent wound closure with enhanced precision.
