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.

Ethicon VICRYL RAPIDE is a sterile synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and engineered for rapid absorption and short-term tensile strength retention.
The braided construction provides excellent handling characteristics and reliable knot security, making it suitable for superficial soft tissue approximation where extended wound support is not required.
This USP 4-0 undyed variant measures 75 cm in length and is supplied with a 19 mm 3/8 circle reverse cutting prime needle, designed for precise penetration through skin and delicate tissue while minimising trauma.
VICRYL RAPIDE is formulated to lose tensile strength more rapidly than standard VICRYL sutures, making it ideal for skin closure and minor surgical procedures.
Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 36 for professional surgical environments.
