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 double-armed with RB-1 PLUS needles. The RB-1 PLUS needle design offers enhanced sharpness and controlled penetration, supporting precise placement and reliable performance in soft tissue and general surgical closure.
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 while reducing tissue drag during passage.
This USP 4-0 violet suture is supplied in a 45 cm length and is armed with a single-armed Taper Point needle designated M1.5. The taper point needle is designed to separate tissue fibres rather than cut them, enabling smooth, atraumatic passage through soft tissues and supporting precise placement during routine surgical closure.
VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, providing predictable and gradual loss of tensile strength as wound healing progresses while minimising tissue reaction. The braided construction ensures excellent handling and dependable knot security. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional hospital and clinical environments.

Ethicon VICRYL is a synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and coated to enhance handling characteristics while reducing tissue drag during use.
This USP 5-0 violet suture is supplied in a 150 cm length and is provided unarmed, with no needle attached. The extended length and needleless configuration make it particularly suitable for use as a ligature, allowing surgeons to select their preferred needle or apply the suture directly for vessel tying and soft tissue control.
VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, resulting in a predictable and gradual loss of tensile strength as healing progresses, while minimising tissue reaction. The braided construction ensures reliable handling and secure knot performance. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional hospital and clinical environments.
