Collection details
SutureVet's braided dental veterinary sutures offer excellent knot security and superior handling characteristics in the challenging wet environment of the oral cavity. The multifilament braided construction ties smoothly and holds knots reliably — a critical advantage when working in the confined, moisture-rich spaces of intraoral surgery where knot integrity directly impacts wound closure success.
Our braided dental suture range includes absorbable polyglactin options that dissolve predictably within the mucosal healing timeframe, eliminating the need for suture removal in a location that is difficult to access and stressful for the patient. Fine gauges and atraumatic needle profiles are selected specifically for veterinary dental applications including tooth extractions, gingival flap closure, and oral soft tissue repair in dogs, cats, and other veterinary species.
While braided sutures have greater surface area than monofilament options, modern coated braided dental sutures minimise tissue drag and bacterial wicking, making them a clinically sound choice for many intraoral applications. All products are supplied sterile and individually packaged from ISO-certified manufacturers.

Ethicon VICRYL is a synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and coated to improve handling characteristics while minimising tissue drag during placement.
This USP 8-0 violet suture is supplied in a 30 cm length and is double-armed with two 6.5 mm reverse spatula needles featuring a 3/8 circle curvature. The reverse spatula needle design is specifically engineered for controlled passage through extremely delicate, layered tissues, allowing precise placement with minimal trauma in ophthalmic and advanced microsurgical procedures.
VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, providing predictable and gradual loss of tensile strength as healing progresses while minimising tissue reaction. The braided construction ensures smooth handling and dependable knot security. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional specialist clinical environments.
