Collection details
SutureVet provides a specialist range of equine sutures designed to meet the exacting standards of horse surgery and large animal veterinary practice. Whether you are performing colic surgery, wound closure, tendon repair, or reproductive procedures, our suture materials deliver the strength, flexibility, and tissue compatibility required in equine patients.
Horses present unique surgical challenges — large tissue volumes, high wound tension, and active post-operative movement all demand suture materials with superior knot security and tensile strength. Our equine range includes heavy-gauge absorbable sutures such as polyglactin and poliglecaprone for internal closures, alongside durable non-absorbable nylon and polypropylene sutures for skin and external applications.
Needle options include taper point for visceral and muscle layers, and reverse cutting for tough cutaneous tissue. All products are ISO-certified and trusted by equine vets, referral hospitals, and racing yards across the UK.
Benefit from competitive trade pricing, bulk purchasing options, and fast UK dispatch from SutureVet.

Ethicon MONOCRYL is a sterile synthetic absorbable monofilament surgical suture manufactured from poliglecaprone 25, a copolymer of glycolide and ε-caprolactone. It is designed to provide high initial tensile strength, smooth tissue passage and predictable absorption.
This USP 2-0 violet variant measures 70 cm (27 inches) and is supplied in a double-armed configuration with SH 1/2 circle needles (Plus version), supporting symmetrical closure techniques and efficient wound approximation.
Poliglecaprone 25 has been found to be non-antigenic, non-pyrogenic and elicits only minimal tissue reaction during the absorption process. The violet colour is achieved using D&C Violet No.2 during polymerisation for enhanced visibility in the surgical field.
MONOCRYL complies with the European Pharmacopoeia requirements for sterile synthetic absorbable monofilament sutures and the United States Pharmacopoeia requirements for absorbable surgical sutures (except for slight diameter oversize as specified by the manufacturer).
Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 36 for professional surgical environments.
