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 STRATAFIX Spiral MONOCRYL Plus is a synthetic absorbable monofilament barbed surgical suture manufactured from poliglecaprone 25 and coated with triclosan antibacterial technology. It is engineered with a spiral knotless design to provide continuous tissue approximation without the need for knot tying.
The spiral barbed configuration distributes tension evenly along the wound line, maintaining consistent tissue approximation while helping to reduce operative time. The monofilament structure ensures smooth tissue passage with minimal drag.
This USP 3-0 suture is supplied in a 45cm length, undyed, and fitted with one 26mm 3/8 circle Reverse Cutting PRIME needle. The PRIME needle design delivers enhanced cutting precision and controlled penetration, making it suitable for skin and tougher soft tissue closure.
STRATAFIX Spiral MONOCRYL Plus offers predictable absorption, dependable handling and antibacterial protection in professional surgical environments. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12.
