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 PLUS is a synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and coated with an antibacterial agent (triclosan) to inhibit bacterial colonisation of the suture surface, helping reduce the risk of surgical site infection.
This USP 4-0 violet suture is supplied in a 45 cm length and is armed with a single-armed 13 mm straight reverse cutting needle, designed to deliver sharp, controlled penetration with excellent precision for superficial or easily accessible tissues requiring cutting efficiency.
VICRYL PLUS sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, resulting in minimal tissue reaction and predictable tensile strength retention during early wound healing. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 36 for professional hospital and clinical environments.
