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.

LUXSUTURES® Luxylene Polypropylene sutures are non-absorbable monofilament surgical sutures designed for secure and long-term wound closure. Manufactured from isotactic polypropylene, these sutures offer excellent tensile strength with minimal tissue reaction, making them suitable for procedures requiring permanent wound support.
The smooth monofilament construction ensures easy passage through tissue while reducing drag and minimising bacterial adherence. The blue colour improves intraoperative visibility, supporting accurate placement and knot security.
This variant features a DS 19 reverse cutting needle, engineered to provide controlled penetration of tougher tissues such as skin. The reverse cutting geometry reduces the risk of tissue tearing while enabling clean, precise incision edges. Supplied sterile and single-use, these sutures are suitable for hospital, clinical, and veterinary environments.
