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 VICRYL is a synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910, designed to provide dependable wound support with predictable absorption characteristics and minimal tissue reaction.
This USP 0 violet suture is supplied in a 50 cm length in an unarmed configuration, allowing surgeons to select an appropriate needle separately or utilise the suture for ligation, tying, or soft tissue approximation where a needle is not required.
VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, resulting in gradual and predictable loss of tensile strength as healing progresses. The braided construction ensures excellent handling and secure knot performance. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional hospital and clinical environments.
