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 Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W8761G, is engineered for reliable soft tissue and dermal approximation where precision handling and permanent tensile strength are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and long-term wound stability.
The USP 4-0 diameter delivers balanced tensile performance suitable for fine soft tissue and layered closure procedures. The extended 90 cm strand length supports efficient continuous suturing and controlled knot placement in deeper or more complex surgical applications.
This suture is bi-directional and supplied double-armed with two SH-2 taper point needles (20 mm). The taper point configuration enables atraumatic penetration by separating tissue fibres rather than cutting, helping to minimise tissue trauma during approximation. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
