Collection details
SutureVet's monofilament veterinary sutures are manufactured from a single continuous strand of material, offering smooth tissue passage, minimal bacterial wicking, and low tissue reactivity compared to braided alternatives. These properties make monofilament sutures the preferred choice for many veterinary surgical applications where infection risk, tissue drag, and post-operative reactivity must be carefully managed.
Our monofilament range includes both absorbable options — such as poliglecaprone (Monocryl equivalent) and polydioxanone (PDS equivalent) — for internal tissue layers requiring temporary support, and non-absorbable monofilament materials such as nylon and polypropylene for skin closure, orthopaedic applications, and cardiovascular surgery. The smooth surface of monofilament sutures reduces the risk of bacterial colonisation and biofilm formation, making them particularly valuable in contaminated or infection-prone surgical sites.
Available across a comprehensive range of gauges from heavy 0 and 1 for large animal and orthopaedic work down to ultra-fine 5-0 and 6-0 for ophthalmic and exotic species surgery. All products are supplied sterile and individually packaged from ISO-certified manufacturers trusted by veterinary surgeons across the UK.

This PROLENE Polypropylene Non-Absorbable Monofilament Surgical Suture, product code EP8735H, is engineered for extreme load-bearing, permanent soft tissue approximation where maximum strength and predictable handling are essential. Manufactured from blue dyed polypropylene monofilament, the suture provides outstanding long-term tensile strength retention, minimal tissue reactivity, and low tissue drag.
The USP 7-0 diameter delivers exceptional tensile strength suitable for closure of fascia, muscle, and other heavily stressed soft tissues. The 60 cm suture length offers extended reach and flexibility during complex surgical procedures requiring secure wound support.
EP8735H is supplied with two BV-1 taperpoint needles, each measuring 9.3 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The taperpoint geometry enables controlled tissue penetration with reduced trauma, while EVERPOINT technology ensures consistent needle sharpness and predictable penetration performance throughout use.
