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 USP 3-0 violet suture is supplied in a 70 cm (27 inch) length and is armed with a single-armed KS (Keith Straight) needle. The straight Keith needle design allows direct, controlled tissue penetration, making it suitable for specific surgical techniques where straight-line access and firm needle control are required.
VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, resulting in minimal tissue reaction and predictable tensile strength retention during early wound healing. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 36 for professional hospital and surgical environments.

Ethicon VICRYL is a synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and coated to improve handling characteristics and minimise tissue drag during placement.
This USP 4-0 violet suture is supplied in a 45 cm length and is double-armed with two 8 mm reverse spatula needles featuring a 1/4 circle curvature. The reverse spatula needle design is optimised for controlled passage through delicate, layered tissues, allowing precise dissection and accurate suture placement with minimal trauma.
VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, delivering predictable loss of tensile strength as healing progresses while maintaining reliable wound support. The braided structure ensures smooth handling and secure knot performance. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional clinical environments.
