Collection details
SutureVet's orthopaedic veterinary sutures are engineered for the high-tension demands of musculoskeletal surgery in animals. Orthopaedic procedures place exceptional mechanical demands on suture materials — requiring superior tensile strength, prolonged wound support, and reliable knot security to withstand the forces generated by muscle contraction and post-operative patient movement.
Our orthopaedic suture range includes heavy-gauge non-absorbable options such as nylon, polypropylene, and polyester for permanent or long-term structural repairs including cruciate ligament stabilisation, tendon repair, and joint capsule closure. We also stock long-duration absorbable sutures such as polydioxanone (PDS) for fascial and deep tissue closure where prolonged support is required during the extended healing timelines associated with orthopaedic surgery.
Needle configurations include large taper point and reverse cutting profiles suited to the tough connective tissue, fascia, and periosteum encountered in orthopaedic cases. All products are supplied sterile and individually packaged from ISO-certified manufacturers trusted by veterinary orthopaedic surgeons and referral centres across the UK.

This PROLENE Polypropylene Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code EH7779H, is developed for dependable soft tissue approximation where increased tensile strength and extended strand length are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound support.
The USP 2-0 diameter delivers enhanced tensile performance suitable for fascial closure, deeper soft tissue layers and procedures involving moderate to higher wound tension. The 120 cm strand length offers extended reach and flexibility, allowing precise placement and secure knot tying in more complex surgical settings.
This suture is bi-directional and fitted with a V-7 TAPERCUT needle (26 mm). The TAPERCUT configuration combines a tapered body with a cutting tip, enabling effective penetration of dense or fibrous tissue while maintaining controlled tissue separation.
