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.

The Ethicon MONOCRYL™ PLUS Antibacterial Suture MCP4930H is a sterile synthetic absorbable monofilament suture manufactured from poliglecaprone 25, designed for precise soft tissue approximation and ligation.
MONOCRYL™ PLUS sutures incorporate IRGACARE® MP (triclosan), a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent shown in vitro to inhibit bacterial colonisation on the suture surface. This antimicrobial protection helps reduce the risk of microbial attachment to the suture during the critical wound healing period.
The monofilament construction allows smooth tissue passage with minimal tissue trauma while reducing the potential for bacterial adherence compared with braided sutures.
This version of MONOCRYL™ PLUS is supplied undyed, providing a clear monofilament option where minimal visual contrast is preferred during delicate surgical procedures.
Poliglecaprone 25 has been shown to be non-antigenic, non-pyrogenic and associated with minimal tissue reaction during absorption, making it suitable for delicate tissue closure.
The suture is supplied attached to a stainless steel P-3 needle and packaged sterile for single-use surgical procedures.
MONOCRYL™ PLUS sutures are commonly used for subcuticular skin closure, plastic surgery procedures, ophthalmic-style fine tissue work and delicate soft tissue approximation where antibacterial protection is beneficial.
