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.

The Ethicon MONOCRYL™ PLUS Antibacterial Suture MCP4940H is a sterile synthetic absorbable monofilament suture manufactured from poliglecaprone 25, designed for precise soft tissue approximation and ligation.
MONOCRYL™ PLUS sutures incorporate IRGACARE® MP (triclosan), a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent that has been shown in vitro to inhibit bacterial colonisation on the suture surface. This antimicrobial protection helps reduce the risk of microbial attachment during the critical wound healing period.
The monofilament construction allows smooth tissue passage while minimising tissue trauma and reducing the potential for bacterial adherence compared with braided sutures.
This version of MONOCRYL™ PLUS is supplied undyed, providing a clear monofilament option where minimal visual contrast is preferred during delicate surgical procedures.
Poliglecaprone 25 has been demonstrated to be non-antigenic, non-pyrogenic and associated with minimal tissue reaction during absorption, making it suitable for delicate tissue closure.
The suture is supplied attached to a stainless steel P-3 needle and packaged sterile for single-use surgical procedures.
MONOCRYL™ PLUS sutures are commonly used in plastic surgery, dermatologic closure, subcuticular skin closure and delicate soft tissue approximation procedures where antibacterial suture protection may be beneficial.

This PDS® II (Polydioxanone) Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code F2847H, is engineered for soft tissue approximation where extended wound support and predictable absorption are required. Manufactured from synthetic monofilament polydioxanone, PDS® II provides prolonged tensile strength retention while minimising tissue reactivity.
The USP 4-0 diameter offers balanced strength suitable for dermal and general soft tissue closure. The 75 cm strand length supports accurate placement and controlled knot tying across a wide range of surgical procedures.
This suture is fitted with a P-3 PRIME™ reverse cutting needle. The PRIME™ reverse cutting configuration enhances needle strength and reduces tissue cut-through risk, supporting sharp, controlled penetration in dermal layers. PDS® II gradually absorbs through hydrolysis, eliminating the need for suture removal while maintaining extended wound support during the critical healing phase. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable absorbable closure.
