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.

Ethicon VICRYL RAPIDE is a sterile synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and designed for rapid absorption and short-term wound support.
The braided construction provides excellent handling characteristics and secure knot performance, making it suitable for superficial soft tissue approximation where extended tensile strength retention is not required.
This USP 3-0 undyed variant measures 45 cm in length and is supplied as a non-needled ligature (no attached needle), allowing flexibility for ligation or surgeon-selected needle use.
VICRYL RAPIDE is engineered to provide fast absorption, typically losing tensile strength more rapidly than standard VICRYL sutures, making it ideal for skin closure and minor procedures.
Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 24 for professional surgical environments.

Ethicon VICRYL RAPIDE is a sterile, synthetic, rapidly absorbable surgical suture composed of polyglactin 910 and specially processed to accelerate absorption, providing short-term wound support during the early stages of healing.
This USP 8-0 violet suture is supplied in a 30 cm (12 inch) length and is armed with a single-armed GS-9 taper point needle measuring 9 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature, designed to provide precise, atraumatic penetration for microsurgical and fine soft tissue closure.
VICRYL RAPIDE sutures are absorbed more rapidly than standard VICRYL by hydrolysis, resulting in minimal tissue reaction and reducing the need for suture removal in appropriate cases. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional hospital and specialist surgical environments.

Ethicon VICRYL is a synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910, providing dependable wound support with predictable absorption and minimal tissue reaction.
This USP 2-0 violet suture is supplied in a 20 cm length and is armed with a single-armed 22 mm Taper Point needle with a ski configuration. The ski needle design supports controlled access and precise placement in specialised or constrained operative approaches, enabling smooth tissue penetration and reliable handling.
VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, resulting in a gradual and predictable loss of tensile strength as healing progresses. The braided construction ensures excellent handling and secure knot performance. Each suture is sterile, single-use and supplied in boxes of 24 for professional hospital and clinical environments.
