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 COATED VICRYL is a synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and coated to enhance handling, knot security and smooth tissue glide during delicate soft tissue approximation procedures.
This USP 7-0 violet suture is supplied in a 30 cm (12 inch) length and is armed with double-armed TG140-8 taper point needles measuring 8 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature, designed to provide precise, atraumatic penetration for microsurgical and fine tissue closure.
COATED VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, resulting in minimal tissue reaction and predictable tensile strength retention during early wound healing. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional hospital and specialist surgical environments.

Ethicon VICRYL is a synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and coated to improve handling characteristics and minimise tissue drag during placement.
This USP 4-0 violet suture is supplied in a 45 cm length and is double-armed with two 8 mm reverse spatula needles featuring a 1/4 circle curvature. The reverse spatula needle design is optimised for controlled passage through delicate, layered tissues, allowing precise dissection and accurate suture placement with minimal trauma.
VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, delivering predictable loss of tensile strength as healing progresses while maintaining reliable wound support. The braided structure ensures smooth handling and secure knot performance. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional clinical environments.
