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.

LUXAMID Nylon Non-Absorbable Monofilament Surgical Sutures are intended for fine soft tissue approximation and ligation where long-term tensile strength and minimal tissue reaction are required. Manufactured from high-quality polyamide monofilament, these sutures are non-absorbable and provide reliable wound support.
The smooth monofilament construction delivers low tissue drag, excellent handling characteristics, and dependable knot security, supporting precise placement in delicate surgical applications. The black colour provides strong contrast against lighter tissue, aiding accurate suture placement during procedures.
This variant is supplied in USP 5/0, 75 cm length, and fitted with an HS 16 (16 mm) non-cutting round-bodied (taper) needle. Taper needles are designed to separate tissue fibres rather than cut them, minimising tissue trauma and making them suitable for atraumatic soft tissue closure.
LUXAMID nylon sutures are widely used in hospitals, clinics, and surgical centres for delicate soft tissue closure, plastic surgery, and fine surgical procedures where non-absorbable wound support is required. Each box contains 12 sterile sutures, individually packaged to maintain sterility and suitability for professional surgical use.
Product code: NY50HS16.
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 black colour provides clear visibility against lighter tissue, supporting accurate placement during procedures.
This variant is supplied in USP 4/0, 75 cm length, and fitted with an HS 17 (17 mm) non-cutting round-bodied (taper) needle. Taper needles are designed to separate tissue fibres rather than cut them, minimising tissue trauma and making them suitable for atraumatic soft tissue closure.
LUXAMID nylon sutures are widely used in hospitals, clinics, and surgical centres for soft tissue approximation, general surgery, and delicate closure procedures where non-absorbable wound support is required.

LuxSutures LUXAMID Nylon Veterinary Non-Absorbable Surgical Sutures are monofilament synthetic sutures manufactured by LuxSutures from polyamide (nylon 6.0 or 6.6), designed to provide dependable long-term wound support in veterinary surgical procedures.
The smooth monofilament construction ensures low tissue drag, minimal capillarity, and reduced tissue reaction, while the blue colouring enhances visibility within animal tissue during placement and knot tying. As a non-absorbable material, LUXAMID nylon provides high tensile strength and secure knot performance, making it suitable for procedures requiring prolonged mechanical support.
Although classified as non-absorbable, LuxSutures LUXAMID nylon sutures are gradually encapsulated by connective tissue. The suture mass diminishes by approximately 10% per year due to slow hydrolytic rupture of chemical links, allowing long-term presence without rapid degradation.
This LuxSutures LUXAMID variant is supplied in USP 4/0 size, with a 100 cm length, and is presented in a cassette format for controlled dispensing during veterinary surgical procedures. The blue colour reflects the nylon monofilament construction.
LuxSutures LUXAMID veterinary sutures are commonly used for ligation, skin closure, soft tissue approximation, and general veterinary surgery, where durable, long-term wound support and minimal tissue reaction are required.
Supplied as 1 sterile cassette per pack, individually packaged to maintain sterility and ensure consistent professional veterinary performance.
