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® Luxylene Polypropylene sutures are non-absorbable monofilament surgical sutures designed for reliable and long-term wound closure. Manufactured from isotactic polypropylene, these sutures offer high tensile strength with minimal tissue reactivity, making them suitable for procedures requiring permanent support.
The smooth monofilament construction allows easy passage through tissue, reducing drag and minimising bacterial adherence. The blue suture colour enhances visibility during placement and knot tying, supporting accurate handling in clinical and veterinary environments.
This variant is supplied with an HR 15 taper point needle, designed for atraumatic penetration of soft tissue without cutting fibres. Taper point needles provide controlled tissue passage and precise approximation, making them ideal for delicate and general soft tissue procedures. Supplied sterile and single-use.
