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 ETHILON™ Black Monofilament Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W736G, is designed for secure soft tissue approximation where increased tensile strength and extended strand length are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable nylon monofilament, ETHILON provides smooth tissue passage, minimal tissue reactivity and dependable long-term wound support.
The USP 2-0 size delivers strong tensile performance suitable for fascia closure, high-tension skin closure and general soft tissue procedures requiring durable approximation. The extended 100 cm (40 inch) strand length offers increased working reach, making it particularly suitable for deeper operative fields and longer suture lines.
W736G is supplied single-armed with one FSLY reverse cutting needle measuring approximately 26 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The reverse cutting configuration enhances controlled penetration through tougher tissue such as skin while helping reduce tissue cut-through and supporting secure wound edge alignment.
Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12 sutures, this product is intended for professional hospital and surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
