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.

Ethicon VICRYL is a synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910, offering predictable absorption and dependable wound support with minimal tissue reaction.
This USP 4-0 undyed suture is supplied in a 45 cm length and is fitted with double-armed 11 mm reverse spatula needles with a 3/8 circle curvature. The reverse spatula needle design is specifically suited to ophthalmic and microsurgical applications, allowing controlled lamellar dissection and precise placement within delicate tissue planes.
VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, providing gradual loss of tensile strength as healing progresses. The braided structure ensures excellent handling and secure knot performance. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional surgical environments.

Ethicon VICRYL is a synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910, designed to provide dependable wound support with predictable absorption and minimal tissue reaction.
This USP 4-0 undyed suture is supplied in a 75 cm length and is armed with a single-armed 17 mm Tapercut needle featuring a 5/8 circle curvature. The Tapercut needle combines cutting efficiency with tapered geometry, making it suitable for controlled penetration and accurate placement in deeper or restricted operative sites where increased curvature improves access.
VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, resulting in gradual, predictable loss of tensile strength as healing progresses. The braided construction ensures excellent handling and secure knot performance. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional surgical environments.
