Collection details
SutureVet offers a specialist range of exotic animal sutures designed for the unique anatomical and physiological demands of non-traditional species. From reptiles and birds to small mammals and zoo animals, our suture materials are selected to deliver reliable wound closure with minimal tissue reactivity.
Exotic animal surgery requires precision — fine gauges, atraumatic needle profiles, and materials that absorb predictably or remain stable in species with differing metabolic rates. Our range includes absorbable monofilament sutures ideal for internal closures in reptiles, as well as fine braided options suited to avian and small mammal soft tissue work.
All products are sourced from ISO-certified manufacturers and are used by exotic animal vets, wildlife rehabilitators, and zoological practices across the UK. Whether you are closing a chelonian shell repair, a ferret spay, or an avian crop incision, SutureVet has the right suture for the job.

LuxSutures LUXAMID Nylon Veterinary Non-Absorbable Surgical Sutures are monofilament synthetic sutures manufactured by LuxSutures from polyamide (nylon 6.0 or 6.6), designed to deliver reliable long-term wound support in veterinary surgery.
The smooth monofilament construction provides low tissue drag, minimal capillarity, and reduced tissue reaction, while the blue colouring enhances visibility within animal tissue during placement and knot tying. As a non-absorbable material, LUXAMID nylon offers high tensile strength and secure knot performance, making it suitable for procedures requiring prolonged mechanical support.
Although classified as non-absorbable, LuxSutures LUXAMID nylon sutures are gradually encapsulated by connective tissue. The suture mass diminishes by approximately 10% per year due to slow hydrolytic rupture of chemical links, allowing long-term presence without rapid degradation.
This LuxSutures LUXAMID variant is supplied in metric 6 size, with a 50 cm length, and is presented in a cassette format for controlled dispensing during veterinary surgical procedures. The blue colour reflects the nylon monofilament construction.
LuxSutures LUXAMID veterinary sutures are commonly used for ligation, skin closure, soft tissue approximation, and general veterinary surgery, where durable, long-term wound support and minimal tissue reaction are required.
Supplied as 1 sterile cassette per pack, individually packaged to maintain sterility and ensure consistent professional veterinary performance.
Product code: NY0350.
