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.

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 deliver reliable long-term wound support in veterinary surgery.
The smooth monofilament construction provides 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 offers 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 metric 6 size, with a 50 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.
Product code: NY0350.
