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 characteristics, knot security and tissue glide. Absorption occurs by hydrolysis, resulting in minimal tissue reaction and predictable tensile strength retention during early wound healing.
This USP 6-0 violet suture is supplied in a 20 cm length and is armed with double-armed 8 mm reverse spatula needles with a 1/2 circle curvature, offering excellent control and precision for ophthalmic and fine microsurgical procedures requiring accurate tissue dissection and placement.
Coated VICRYL sutures deliver consistent performance, smooth passage through delicate tissue planes and secure knot formation. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional hospital and specialist clinical 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 placement.
This USP 6-0 violet suture is supplied in a 75 cm length and is armed with a single-armed 13 mm TaperCut CC needle with a 3/8 circle curvature. The TaperCut CC needle features a tapered body with a cutting point, allowing smooth initial penetration followed by controlled tissue passage, supporting precise placement in delicate soft tissues.
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 excellent handling and secure knot performance. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 36 for professional hospital and clinical environments.
