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 Mesh is a sterile, synthetic, absorbable surgical mesh composed of polyglactin 910 (90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide), designed to provide temporary wound support and reinforcement during soft tissue and hernia repair procedures.
This 26.5 x 21.5 cm mesh implant is intended for use where temporary reinforcement of soft tissue is required across moderate to large surgical defects. The braided construction offers flexibility, ease of handling and predictable tensile strength retention during the critical early phases of healing.
VICRYL Mesh is absorbed by hydrolysis, resulting in minimal tissue reaction and gradual loss of strength as tissue healing progresses. Each mesh is sterile, single use and supplied individually for professional hospital and surgical environments.

Ethicon VICRYL is a synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and coated to enhance handling characteristics while reducing tissue drag during use.
This USP 5-0 violet suture is supplied in a 150 cm length and is provided unarmed, with no needle attached. The extended length and needleless configuration make it particularly suitable for use as a ligature, allowing surgeons to select their preferred needle or apply the suture directly for vessel tying and soft tissue control.
VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, resulting in a predictable and gradual loss of tensile strength as healing progresses, while minimising tissue reaction. The braided construction ensures reliable handling and secure knot performance. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional hospital and clinical environments.
