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 PLUS is a synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and coated with the antibacterial agent triclosan to inhibit bacterial colonisation of the suture surface, helping reduce the risk of surgical site infection.
This USP 4-0 undyed suture is supplied in a 70 cm (27 inch) length and is armed with a single-armed RB-2 needle. The RB-2 round-bodied taper point needle is designed for smooth passage through delicate soft tissues, supporting atraumatic penetration and precise placement during fine surgical closure.
VICRYL PLUS sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, resulting in minimal tissue reaction and predictable tensile strength retention during early wound healing. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 36 for professional hospital and surgical environments.

Ethicon VICRYL Mesh is a sterile, synthetic, absorbable surgical mesh composed of polyglactin 910 (90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide), designed to provide temporary wound support and reinforcement during soft tissue and hernia repair procedures.
This 26.5 x 21.5 cm mesh implant is intended for use where temporary reinforcement of soft tissue is required across moderate to large surgical defects. The braided construction offers flexibility, ease of handling and predictable tensile strength retention during the critical early phases of healing.
VICRYL Mesh is absorbed by hydrolysis, resulting in minimal tissue reaction and gradual loss of strength as tissue healing progresses. Each mesh is sterile, single use and supplied individually for professional hospital and surgical environments.
