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 sterile, synthetic, absorbable surgical suture composed of a copolymer made of 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide (polyglactin 910). The braided and coated construction enhances handling characteristics, knot security and smooth tissue passage during soft tissue approximation and ligation procedures.
This USP 0 violet suture is supplied in a 75 cm (30 inch) length and is armed with a single-armed V-34 taper point needle measuring 36 mm with a 1/2 circle curvature, designed to provide smooth, atraumatic penetration for deep soft tissue approximation and general surgical closure.
VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis and have been shown to be nonantigenic, nonpyrogenic and to elicit only a slight tissue reaction during absorption. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional hospital and clinical environments.
