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.

This ETHILON™ Black Monofilament Non-Absorbable Microsurgical Suture, product code W8170, is designed for delicate tissue approximation where high precision and minimal tissue trauma are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable nylon monofilament, ETHILON provides exceptionally smooth tissue passage, very low tissue reactivity and reliable long-term tensile strength.
The USP 8-0 size is suitable for ophthalmic, plastic and microvascular procedures requiring refined wound edge alignment. The 18 inch (45 cm) strand length allows enhanced reach while maintaining precise control during microsurgical closure.
W8170 is supplied double-armed (D/A) with two BV-1 taper point needles, each measuring approximately 6.5 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The taper point configuration enables atraumatic penetration of delicate tissue and supports symmetrical microsurgical approximation.
Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12 sutures, this product is intended for specialist hospital and microsurgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable fine wound closure.
