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 PDP9959H, 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 within veterinary surgical environments.
The USP 2-0 diameter provides enhanced tensile performance suitable for fascia, subcutaneous and general soft tissue closure in companion and larger animal surgery. The violet monofilament construction improves intraoperative visibility while maintaining smooth tissue passage, minimal drag and reliable knot security.
Each suture features a 70 cm strand length to support controlled handling across wider operative fields. Supplied with a 31 mm MHD-1 blunt point dolphin needle, this configuration is designed to separate rather than cut tissue fibres, reducing the risk of inadvertent tissue trauma and supporting safer passage through friable or delicate tissue structures.
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.
