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.

Ethicon MONOCRYL Plus is an antibacterial absorbable monofilament surgical suture manufactured from poliglecaprone 25 and coated with triclosan (Plus Technology) to inhibit bacterial colonisation along the suture surface.
This USP 3-0 violet variant measures 70 cm in length and is supplied with a 24 mm 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle, engineered for precise penetration through skin and denser tissue with reduced trauma.
MONOCRYL Plus provides high initial tensile strength, smooth handling and predictable absorption. The monofilament construction minimises tissue drag and supports accurate wound edge approximation.
The triclosan coating helps reduce the risk of surgical site infection by inhibiting bacterial colonisation on the suture material.
Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 36 for professional surgical environments.
