Collection details
SutureVet's monofilament dental veterinary sutures offer smooth tissue passage, minimal bacterial wicking, and low tissue reactivity — making them an excellent choice for intraoral wound closure where infection risk and post-operative inflammation must be carefully managed. The single-strand construction glides cleanly through delicate gingival and mucosal tissue, reducing trauma during suture placement in the confined spaces of the oral cavity.
Our monofilament dental suture range includes both absorbable options such as poliglecaprone, which dissolves predictably within the mucosal healing timeframe, and non-absorbable monofilament materials such as nylon for cases where suture removal is planned. Fine gauges and intraoral needle configurations are selected to suit veterinary dental procedures including tooth extractions, gingival flap surgery, and oral soft tissue repair in dogs, cats, rabbits, and other species.
Monofilament sutures are particularly valued in dental surgery for their reduced surface area and lower propensity for bacterial colonisation compared to braided alternatives. All products are supplied sterile and individually packaged from ISO-certified manufacturers.

The Ethicon MONOCRYL™ PLUS Antibacterial Suture MCP4930H is a sterile synthetic absorbable monofilament suture manufactured from poliglecaprone 25, designed for precise soft tissue approximation and ligation.
MONOCRYL™ PLUS sutures incorporate IRGACARE® MP (triclosan), a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent shown in vitro to inhibit bacterial colonisation on the suture surface. This antimicrobial protection helps reduce the risk of microbial attachment to the suture during the critical wound healing period.
The monofilament construction allows smooth tissue passage with minimal tissue trauma while reducing the potential for bacterial adherence compared with braided sutures.
This version of MONOCRYL™ PLUS is supplied undyed, providing a clear monofilament option where minimal visual contrast is preferred during delicate surgical procedures.
Poliglecaprone 25 has been shown to be non-antigenic, non-pyrogenic and associated with minimal tissue reaction during absorption, making it suitable for delicate tissue closure.
The suture is supplied attached to a stainless steel P-3 needle and packaged sterile for single-use surgical procedures.
MONOCRYL™ PLUS sutures are commonly used for subcuticular skin closure, plastic surgery procedures, ophthalmic-style fine tissue work and delicate soft tissue approximation where antibacterial protection is beneficial.
