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.

This PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture with HEMOSEAL™ Technology, product code HS6856H, is engineered for reliable soft tissue approximation where enhanced sealing performance and permanent tensile support are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE ensures smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and durable wound stability.
The USP 5-0 diameter provides refined handling characteristics suitable for delicate soft tissue and layered closure procedures. The 30 inch (76 cm) strand length, supplied in a double-armed configuration, supports efficient continuous suturing and symmetrical closure techniques.
This suture is double-armed with two RB-1 taper point needles (17 mm). The taper point configuration enables atraumatic penetration by separating tissue fibres rather than cutting, reducing tissue trauma during approximation. HEMOSEAL™ Technology is designed to help reduce suture line bleeding by enhancing sealing at the needle-to-suture interface. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
