Collection details
SutureVet stocks a carefully curated range of feline veterinary sutures suited to the delicate tissue structures and unique physiological characteristics of cats. Feline patients require fine-gauge, low-reactivity suture materials that minimise post-operative inflammation and reduce the risk of self-trauma to wounds.
Our feline suture range includes absorbable monofilament options such as poliglecaprone and polydioxanone for subcutaneous and internal closures, as well as non-absorbable nylon and polypropylene sutures for skin closure where suture removal is planned. Fine gauge options from 3-0 down to 5-0 and beyond are stocked to suit the smaller tissue planes encountered in routine and complex feline surgery.
Whether you are performing an ovariohysterectomy, a wound repair, a urethrostomy, or soft tissue oncology, our feline suture range provides the clinical precision your patients deserve. All products are ISO-certified and trusted by feline specialist practices and general veterinary clinics across the UK.

This PDS® Plus Antibacterial (Polydioxanone) Veterinary Surgical Suture, product code PDP9370H, is engineered for dependable soft tissue approximation in animal health procedures requiring extended tensile strength and antimicrobial protection. Manufactured from synthetic absorbable polydioxanone monofilament, PDS® Plus incorporates triclosan antibacterial technology to support infection risk management in veterinary surgical environments.
The USP 1 diameter provides substantial tensile strength suitable for higher-tension closures and approximation of larger tissue structures in companion and large animal surgery. The monofilament construction ensures smooth tissue passage, reduced tissue drag and reliable knot security during placement.
Each suture features a 90 cm strand length, supporting extended closure techniques and controlled handling across larger operative fields. Supplied with a V-37 TAPERCUT® needle (40 mm), this configuration combines a tapered body with a precision cutting tip, facilitating penetration through dense or fibrous tissue while maintaining atraumatic passage through softer layers.
With an extended absorption profile of approximately 182–238 days, PDS® Plus maintains tensile strength throughout the critical healing phase before gradual hydrolytic absorption. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this product is intended for professional veterinary and animal health surgical settings requiring reliable long-term absorbable wound closure with antibacterial protection.
