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 STRATAFIX Spiral MONOCRYL Plus is a synthetic absorbable monofilament barbed surgical suture manufactured from poliglecaprone 25 and coated with triclosan antibacterial technology. It is engineered with a spiral knotless design to provide continuous tissue approximation without the need for knot tying.
The spiral barbed configuration distributes tension evenly along the wound line, maintaining consistent approximation while helping to reduce operative time. The monofilament construction allows smooth passage through tissue with minimal drag.
This USP 3-0 suture is supplied in a 45cm length, undyed, and fitted with one 19mm 3/8 circle Reverse Cutting PRIME needle. The PRIME needle delivers enhanced cutting precision and controlled penetration, making it particularly suitable for skin and tougher soft tissue closure.
STRATAFIX Spiral MONOCRYL Plus provides predictable absorption, dependable handling and antibacterial protection in professional surgical environments. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12.
