Collection details
SutureVet's braided veterinary sutures are constructed from multiple interwoven strands of suture material, delivering exceptional knot security, superior handling characteristics, and excellent tensile strength. The braided construction ties smoothly and holds knots reliably under tension — making braided sutures a trusted choice for procedures where secure, stable wound closure is paramount.
Our braided range includes absorbable options such as polyglactin 910 (Vicryl equivalent) for internal tissue layers including fascia, muscle, and subcutaneous closure, as well as non-absorbable braided materials such as polyester and silk for applications requiring permanent or long-term wound support. Braided sutures are particularly valued in cardiovascular surgery, orthopaedic repair, and gastrointestinal anastomosis where knot security and handling precision are critical.
Modern coated braided sutures minimise tissue drag and reduce bacterial wicking compared to uncoated alternatives, maintaining the handling benefits of braided construction while improving the safety profile in clinical use. Available across a full range of gauges suitable for all veterinary species and procedure types. 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, designed to provide dependable wound support with predictable absorption and minimal tissue reaction.
This USP 4-0 undyed suture is supplied in a 45 cm length and is armed with a single-armed 16 mm reverse cutting Prime needle with a 1/2 circle curvature. The reverse cutting Prime needle is engineered to deliver sharp, controlled penetration with enhanced precision, making it suitable for delicate tissues requiring cutting efficiency and reliable handling.
VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, resulting in gradual loss of tensile strength as healing progresses. The braided construction ensures excellent handling and secure knot performance. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional hospital and clinical environments.
