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.

This PDS® Plus Antibacterial (Polydioxanone) Veterinary Surgical Suture, product code PDP9102H, is engineered for dependable soft tissue approximation in animal health procedures requiring extended tensile strength and antimicrobial protection. Manufactured from synthetic absorbable polydioxanone monofilament, PDS® Plus incorporates triclosan antibacterial technology to support infection risk management in veterinary surgical environments.
The USP 4-0 diameter provides balanced tensile performance suitable for dermal and general soft tissue closure in companion animal surgery. The monofilament construction ensures smooth tissue passage, reduced tissue drag and reliable knot security.
Each suture features a 45 cm strand length, supporting controlled handling within standard operative fields. Supplied with an RB-2 taper point needle (13 mm), the taper point design enables atraumatic penetration by separating tissue fibres rather than cutting them, promoting precise approximation with minimal trauma.
With an extended absorption profile of approximately 182–238 days, PDS® Plus maintains tensile strength throughout the critical healing phase before gradual hydrolytic absorption. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this product is intended for professional veterinary and animal health surgical settings requiring reliable long-term absorbable wound closure with antibacterial protection.
