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 ETHIBOND EXCEL is a synthetic non absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyester and coated to enhance handling characteristics while providing reliable knot security and long term tensile strength.
This USP 0 suture is supplied in a 90 cm length and features a white braided construction for clear visibility against tissue. It is armed with a single 22 mm taperpoint needle in a straight (SKI) configuration, designed to pass smoothly through soft tissues while enabling controlled, linear needle placement.
ETHIBOND EXCEL sutures are intended for permanent tissue approximation where dependable wound support and consistent handling are required. They produce minimal tissue reaction while maintaining stable mechanical performance throughout healing. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional surgical environments.
