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 MONOCRYL PLUS is a synthetic absorbable monofilament surgical suture manufactured from poliglecaprone 25 and coated with triclosan to inhibit bacterial colonisation along the suture line.
This USP 4-0 suture is supplied in a 45 cm length and features an undyed monofilament construction to minimise tissue visibility. It is armed with a single reverse cutting Prime needle measuring 24 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature, designed for controlled penetration and precise handling in skin and delicate tissue layers.
MONOCRYL PLUS sutures provide predictable tensile strength retention followed by reliable absorption, making them suitable for tissues requiring short-term wound support. They elicit minimal tissue reaction while maintaining excellent handling and knot security. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 36 for professional surgical environments.

This ETHILON™ Black Monofilament Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code 1668H, is designed for precise soft tissue approximation where fine calibre strength and minimal tissue trauma are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable nylon monofilament, ETHILON provides smooth tissue passage, low tissue reactivity and dependable long-term tensile support.
The USP 5-0 size is ideal for delicate skin closure, cosmetic procedures and refined wound edge approximation. The 18 inch (45 cm) strand length allows controlled handling in both outpatient and hospital surgical settings.
1668H is supplied single-armed with one PS-3 Prime reverse cutting needle measuring 13 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature.
