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 STRATAFIX Polypropylene is a synthetic non-absorbable monofilament surgical suture manufactured from polypropylene, engineered with a bidirectional spiral knotless design for continuous tissue fixation and long-term wound support.
This USP 1 suture is supplied in a 48 cm length and features an undyed monofilament construction to minimise tissue reactivity and visibility during closure. It is double-armed with two taperpoint needles, each measuring 36 mm with a 1/2 circle curvature, enabling smooth tissue passage and controlled needle handling in deeper tissue planes.
The STRATAFIX spiral design distributes tension evenly along the suture line, eliminating the need for knot tying while maintaining secure, long-lasting wound approximation. STRATAFIX Polypropylene sutures provide excellent tensile strength, minimal tissue response and dependable handling. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional surgical environments.
