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 Surgical Suture, product code EH7779H, is developed for dependable soft tissue approximation where increased tensile strength and extended strand length are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound support.
The USP 2-0 diameter delivers enhanced tensile performance suitable for fascial closure, deeper soft tissue layers and procedures involving moderate to higher wound tension. The 120 cm strand length offers extended reach and flexibility, allowing precise placement and secure knot tying in more complex surgical settings.
This suture is bi-directional and fitted with a V-7 TAPERCUT needle (26 mm). The TAPERCUT configuration combines a tapered body with a cutting tip, enabling effective penetration of dense or fibrous tissue while maintaining controlled tissue separation.
