Collection details
SutureVet stocks a comprehensive range of bovine sutures engineered for the demands of cattle surgery and large animal veterinary practice. From caesarean sections and rumenotomies to teat repairs and orthopaedic closures, our suture materials are selected for strength, knot security, and reliable tissue handling in bovine patients.
Cattle surgery often requires heavy-gauge materials capable of holding tension across thick tissue layers. Our bovine suture range includes absorbable polyglycolic acid and polyglactin sutures for internal closures, as well as robust non-absorbable nylon and polypropylene options for skin and external applications. Taper point and reverse cutting needle configurations are available to suit both visceral and cutaneous procedures.
All products meet ISO manufacturing standards and are trusted by farm vets, large animal practices, and agricultural veterinary surgeons across the UK. Bulk and trade pricing is available, making SutureVet the practical choice for high-volume bovine caseloads.

This PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Veterinary Microsurgical Suture, product code W2779, is engineered for delicate soft tissue and microvascular approximation in animal health procedures where precision and long-term tensile stability are critical. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE ensures smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound support.
The USP 8-0 diameter is suitable for ultra-fine veterinary tissue layers requiring meticulous handling and minimal tissue trauma. The short 13 cm strand length provides enhanced control within confined operative fields.
This suture is supplied with a BV130-4 MP taper point needle (5 mm). Featuring MULTIPASS technology, the needle is designed to maintain sharpness through repeated passes, supporting consistent penetration performance. The taper point configuration allows atraumatic fibre separation rather than cutting, helping to reduce tissue trauma during delicate approximation. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional veterinary microsurgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable closure.
