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 VICRYL PLUS is a synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and coated with an antibacterial agent (triclosan) to inhibit bacterial colonisation of the suture surface, helping reduce the risk of surgical site infection.
This USP 2-0 violet suture is supplied in a 90 cm length and is armed with a single-armed 36 mm taper point needle with a 1/2 circle curvature, offering extended reach and smooth, atraumatic penetration for deeper soft tissue closure while maintaining excellent control.
VICRYL PLUS sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, resulting in minimal tissue reaction and predictable tensile strength retention during early wound healing. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 36 for professional hospital and surgical environments.
