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 and coated to enhance handling characteristics while reducing tissue drag during placement.
This USP 6-0 violet suture is supplied in a 45 cm length and is double-armed with two 11 mm Reverse Cutting Prime needles featuring a 3/8 circle curvature. The reverse cutting prime needle design provides enhanced penetration control and reduced tissue cut-out, making it particularly suitable for fine skin closure and precise soft tissue approximation.
VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, providing predictable and gradual loss of tensile strength as healing progresses while minimising tissue reaction. The braided construction ensures smooth handling and dependable knot security. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional hospital and clinical environments.
