Collection details
SutureVet offers a comprehensive range of canine sutures covering the full breadth of dog surgery — from routine neutering and skin laceration repair to complex orthopaedic reconstruction, soft tissue oncology, and gastrointestinal procedures. Our canine suture selection is curated to meet the demands of both general practice and specialist referral surgery.
We stock absorbable sutures including polyglactin, poliglecaprone, and polydioxanone for internal tissue layers, alongside non-absorbable nylon, polypropylene, and polyester options for skin closure and orthopaedic applications. Gauges range from heavy 0 and 1 for large breed orthopaedic work down to fine 4-0 and 5-0 for delicate soft tissue procedures.
Needle configurations include taper point for visceral and muscle layers, reverse cutting for skin and tough connective tissue, and blunt options for friable tissue. All products are ISO-certified and trusted by veterinary surgeons and practices across the UK.
Benefit from competitive trade pricing, bulk discounts, and fast UK dispatch when you order canine surgical sutures from SutureVet.

Ethicon VICRYL is a sterile, synthetic, absorbable surgical suture composed of a copolymer made of 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide (polyglactin 910). The suture is braided and coated to enhance handling characteristics, knot security and smooth tissue passage.
This USP 4-0 violet suture is supplied as five 70 cm (27 inch) non-needled strands per unit, designed for ligation and soft tissue approximation procedures where a needle is not required.
VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis and have been shown to be nonantigenic, nonpyrogenic and to elicit only a slight tissue reaction during absorption. Each strand is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 24 for professional hospital and clinical environments.

Ethicon VICRYL RAPIDE is a sterile, synthetic, rapidly absorbable surgical suture composed of polyglactin 910 and specially processed to accelerate absorption, providing short-term wound support during the early stages of healing.
This USP 8-0 violet suture is supplied in a 30 cm (12 inch) length and is armed with a single-armed GS-9 taper point needle measuring 9 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature, designed to provide precise, atraumatic penetration for microsurgical and fine soft tissue closure.
VICRYL RAPIDE sutures are absorbed more rapidly than standard VICRYL by hydrolysis, resulting in minimal tissue reaction and reducing the need for suture removal in appropriate cases. 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, designed to provide dependable wound support with predictable absorption and minimal tissue reaction.
This USP 3-0 violet suture is supplied in a 20 cm length and is armed with a single-armed 22 mm Taper Point needle featuring a ski configuration. The ski needle profile supports controlled access and precise placement in specialised or constrained operative approaches, allowing smooth tissue penetration with excellent handling.
VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, resulting in gradual and predictable loss of tensile strength as healing progresses. The braided construction ensures excellent handling and secure knot performance. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 24 for professional hospital and clinical environments.
