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.

Ethicon Coated VICRYL is a synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and coated to improve handling, knot reliability and tissue glide. Absorption occurs by hydrolysis, producing minimal tissue reaction with predictable tensile strength retention during early wound healing.
This USP 8-0 violet suture is supplied in a 45 cm length and is armed with double-armed 6.5 mm reverse spatula needles with a 3/8 circle curvature, offering exceptional precision and control for ophthalmic and fine microsurgical procedures.
Coated VICRYL sutures provide excellent pliability, smooth passage through delicate tissue planes and secure knot formation. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional hospital and specialist clinical environments.
