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 PDP9734H, is engineered for secure soft tissue approximation in animal health procedures requiring prolonged 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 controlled tensile performance suitable for dermal and general soft tissue closure in companion animal surgery. The undyed monofilament construction ensures smooth tissue passage, reduced tissue drag and dependable knot security during placement.
Each suture features a 70 cm strand length, supporting efficient handling within standard operative fields. Supplied with a 16 mm FS-3 conventional cutting needle, this configuration enables precise skin penetration and controlled closure of tougher surface tissues, with the cutting edge positioned on the inner curvature for accurate and consistent tissue entry.
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.

Ethicon PDS II is a sterile, synthetic, absorbable monofilament surgical suture composed of polydioxanone. The monofilament structure provides smooth tissue passage, minimal tissue drag and prolonged tensile strength retention to support extended wound healing.
This USP 4-0 undyed suture is supplied in a 45 cm (18 inch) length and is armed with a single-armed PC-5 PRIME MP conventional cutting needle measuring 19 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature, designed to deliver sharp, controlled penetration for precise skin and superficial tissue closure.
PDS II sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis and provide extended wound support compared to braided absorbable sutures, resulting in minimal tissue reaction and predictable strength retention over time. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional hospital and clinical environments.
