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, designed to deliver dependable wound support with predictable absorption and minimal tissue reaction.
This USP 6-0 undyed suture is supplied in a 45 cm length and is armed with a single-armed 13 mm Taper Point needle with a 1/2 circle curvature, enabling smooth, controlled tissue penetration with excellent precision for delicate soft tissue and subcutaneous closure.
VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, resulting in gradual and predictable loss of tensile strength as healing progresses. The braided construction offers excellent handling and secure knot performance. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional hospital and clinical environments.

Ethicon VICRYL RAPIDE is a sterile synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and designed for rapid absorption and short-term wound support.
The braided construction provides excellent handling characteristics and secure knot performance, making it suitable for superficial soft tissue approximation where extended tensile strength retention is not required.
This USP 3-0 undyed variant measures 45 cm in length and is supplied as a non-needled ligature (no attached needle), allowing flexibility for ligation or surgeon-selected needle use.
VICRYL RAPIDE is engineered to provide fast absorption, typically losing tensile strength more rapidly than standard VICRYL sutures, making it ideal for skin closure and minor procedures.
Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 24 for professional surgical environments.

Ethicon VICRYL is a sterile, synthetic, absorbable surgical suture composed of a copolymer made of 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide (polyglactin 910). The suture is braided and coated to enhance handling characteristics, knot security and smooth tissue passage.
This USP 4-0 violet suture is supplied in a 75 cm (30 inch) length and is armed with a single-armed CC-1 conventional cutting needle measuring 13 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature, designed to deliver sharp, controlled penetration for precise skin and superficial tissue closure.
VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis and have been shown to be nonantigenic, nonpyrogenic and to elicit only a slight tissue reaction during absorption. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 36 for professional hospital and clinical environments.
