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 PLUS is a synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and coated with the antibacterial agent triclosan to inhibit bacterial colonisation of the suture surface, helping reduce the risk of surgical site infection.
This USP 4-0 violet suture is supplied in a 27 inch (68 cm) length and is armed with a single-armed FS-2 needle. The FS-2 reverse cutting needle is designed for controlled penetration of skin and tougher tissues, supporting precise placement and reliable wound edge approximation.
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.

Ethicon VICRYL Mesh is a sterile, synthetic, absorbable surgical mesh composed of polyglactin 910 (90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide), designed to provide temporary wound support and reinforcement during soft tissue and hernia repair procedures.
This 26.5 x 21.5 cm mesh implant is intended for use where temporary reinforcement of soft tissue is required across moderate to large surgical defects. The braided construction offers flexibility, ease of handling and predictable tensile strength retention during the critical early phases of healing.
VICRYL Mesh is absorbed by hydrolysis, resulting in minimal tissue reaction and gradual loss of strength as tissue healing progresses. Each mesh is sterile, single use and supplied individually for professional hospital and surgical environments.
