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 is a synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and coated to enhance handling characteristics while minimising tissue drag during placement.
This USP 6-0 violet suture is supplied in a 20 cm length and is double-armed with two 8 mm reverse spatula needles featuring a 1/4 circle curvature. The reverse spatula needle profile is specifically engineered for controlled passage through delicate, layered tissues, making it particularly suitable for ophthalmic and fine microsurgical applications requiring high precision and minimal trauma.
VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, providing predictable and gradual loss of tensile strength as healing progresses while maintaining reliable wound support. The braided construction ensures smooth handling and secure knot performance. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional clinical environments.
