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 is a synthetic absorbable surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and coated to enhance handling characteristics while minimising tissue drag during placement in delicate surgical fields.
This USP 10-0 violet suture is supplied in a 15 cm length and is armed with a single-armed 9.3 mm Taper Point needle with a 3/8 circle curvature. The taper point needle is designed to separate tissue fibres rather than cut them, allowing smooth, atraumatic passage through extremely delicate soft tissues with precise control.
VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, providing predictable and gradual loss of tensile strength as healing progresses while minimising tissue reaction. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for specialist hospital and microsurgical clinical environments.

Ethicon STRATAFIX Spiral MONOCRYL Plus is a synthetic absorbable monofilament surgical suture manufactured from poliglecaprone 25 and coated with triclosan, engineered with a spiral knotless design for continuous tissue fixation and infection risk reduction.
This USP 3-0 suture is supplied in a 15 cm length and features an undyed monofilament construction to minimise tissue visibility during closure. It is single-armed with one reverse cutting prime needle measuring 19 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature, delivering enhanced cutting efficiency, controlled penetration and precise handling in delicate tissues.
The STRATAFIX spiral design distributes tension evenly along the suture line, eliminating the need for knot tying while maintaining secure wound closure. The MONOCRYL Plus antibacterial coating inhibits bacterial colonisation on the suture, supporting reduced surgical site infection risk. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional surgical environments.
