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 VICRYL RAPIDE is a sterile synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and engineered for rapid absorption and short-term wound support.
The braided construction offers excellent handling and reliable knot security, making it suitable for soft tissue approximation where extended tensile strength retention is not required.
This USP 0 undyed variant measures 90 cm in length and is supplied with a 36 mm 1/2 circle tapercut needle. The tapercut design combines a tapered body with a cutting tip to support controlled penetration through denser or fibrous tissue.
VICRYL RAPIDE is designed to lose tensile strength more rapidly than standard VICRYL sutures, making it ideal for skin closure and procedures requiring short-term support.
Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional surgical environments.
