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.

Durable and Reliable Material for Hernia Repair
The Ethicon PROLENE Hernia Mesh is crafted from knitted polypropylene, a non-absorbable synthetic material widely recognized for its strength and biocompatibility. This mesh is designed to provide long-lasting support in hernia repair surgeries by creating a stable scaffold for tissue growth. Its knitted structure enhances flexibility and conformability, allowing it to adapt well to the patient’s anatomy. The robust polypropylene fibers resist degradation, ensuring the mesh maintains its integrity over time, which is essential for preventing hernia recurrence and promoting patient recovery.
Precision Dimensions and Keyhole Design
This hernia repair mesh measures 4.5 cm by 10.1 cm, a size optimized for effective placement in common hernia repair procedures. The keyhole configuration allows better accommodation around anatomical structures, making surgical fixation simpler and more secure. This design minimizes tension on the surrounding tissues while providing adequate coverage of the defect, reducing postoperative complications and enhancing healing. The box of three meshes offers surgeons convenient multiple-use options for various cases or bilateral repairs.
Efficient Hernia Mesh & Fixation Solution
Ethicon PROLENE Hernia Mesh is part of a comprehensive hernia mesh and fixation system engineered for optimal surgical outcomes. The mesh can be easily fixed using standard surgical techniques, ensuring stable positioning during and after the procedure. Its non-absorbable nature supports long-term repair strength, while the knitted texture promotes tissue integration. This product is trusted in clinical settings worldwide for its reliable performance, helping surgeons provide patients with durable and effective hernia repair solutions.
