Collection details
SutureVet's non-absorbable veterinary sutures are designed to remain stable in tissue indefinitely, providing permanent or long-term wound support where the body's natural healing process alone cannot maintain structural integrity. Non-absorbable sutures are an essential component of the veterinary surgical toolkit, used across a wide range of applications where lasting mechanical support is required.
Our non-absorbable range includes monofilament materials such as nylon and polypropylene for skin closure, cardiovascular surgery, and orthopaedic applications, as well as braided non-absorbable options such as polyester and silk for procedures demanding superior knot security and handling. Non-absorbable sutures are the material of choice for skin closure requiring planned removal, cruciate ligament repair, tendon reconstruction, vascular anastomosis, and hernia repair across all veterinary species.
Available across a comprehensive gauge range from heavy sizes for large animal and orthopaedic work to fine gauges for ophthalmic and exotic species surgery. All products are supplied sterile and individually packaged from ISO-certified manufacturers trusted by veterinary surgeons and referral centres across the UK.

This COATED VICRYL® Plus Antibacterial Surgical Suture, product code VCP786G, is designed for secure soft tissue approximation where predictable absorption and enhanced antimicrobial protection are required. Manufactured from polyglactin 910, this braided absorbable suture features an antibacterial coating designed to inhibit bacterial colonisation of the suture for up to 7 days.
The USP 2-0 diameter provides reliable tensile performance suitable for moderate soft tissue closure. The violet braided construction enhances intraoperative visibility while maintaining smooth handling and dependable knot security.
Each pack contains four 45 cm strands, offering flexibility and efficiency across multiple closure points within a single procedure. Supplied with an MH taper point needle, this configuration enables smooth, atraumatic penetration through soft tissue without cutting fibres.
COATED VICRYL® Plus is fully absorbable, with predictable hydrolytic absorption and gradual loss of tensile strength as healing progresses. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is suitable for professional surgical environments requiring absorbable closure with antibacterial support.

Ethicon VICRYL is a synthetic absorbable surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and coated to enhance handling characteristics while minimising tissue drag during placement in highly delicate surgical fields.
This USP 10-0 violet suture is supplied in a 10 cm length and is armed with a single-armed 6.5 mm Reverse Spatula needle featuring a 3/8 circle curvature. The reverse spatula needle profile is specifically designed for controlled passage through layered, delicate tissues, making it ideal for ophthalmic and advanced microsurgical procedures requiring exceptional precision and minimal trauma.
VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, providing predictable and gradual loss of tensile strength as healing progresses while minimising tissue reaction. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for specialist hospital and microsurgical clinical environments.
