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, offering predictable absorption and dependable wound support with minimal tissue reaction.
This USP 4-0 undyed suture is supplied in a 45 cm length and is fitted with double-armed 11 mm reverse spatula needles with a 3/8 circle curvature. The reverse spatula needle design is specifically suited to ophthalmic and microsurgical applications, allowing controlled lamellar dissection and precise placement within delicate tissue planes.
VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, providing gradual loss of tensile strength as healing progresses. The braided structure ensures excellent handling and secure knot performance. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional surgical environments.
