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 soft tissue approximation and ligation procedures.
This USP 0 violet suture is supplied in a 90 cm (36 inch) length and is armed with a single-armed V-34 taper point needle measuring 36 mm with a 1/2 circle curvature, designed to provide smooth, atraumatic penetration for deep soft tissue approximation and general surgical 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 36 for professional hospital and clinical environments.

This COATED VICRYL® Plus Antibacterial Surgical Suture, product code VCP786G, is designed for secure soft tissue approximation where predictable absorption and enhanced antimicrobial protection are required. Manufactured from polyglactin 910, this braided absorbable suture features an antibacterial coating designed to inhibit bacterial colonisation of the suture for up to 7 days.
The USP 2-0 diameter provides reliable tensile performance suitable for moderate soft tissue closure. The violet braided construction enhances intraoperative visibility while maintaining smooth handling and dependable knot security.
Each pack contains four 45 cm strands, offering flexibility and efficiency across multiple closure points within a single procedure. Supplied with an MH taper point needle, this configuration enables smooth, atraumatic penetration through soft tissue without cutting fibres.
