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 Coated VICRYL is a synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and coated to enhance handling characteristics, knot security and tissue glide. Absorption occurs by hydrolysis, resulting in minimal tissue reaction and predictable tensile strength retention during early wound healing.
This USP 6-0 violet suture is supplied in a 20 cm length and is armed with double-armed 8 mm reverse spatula needles with a 1/2 circle curvature, offering excellent control and precision for ophthalmic and fine microsurgical procedures requiring accurate tissue dissection and placement.
Coated VICRYL sutures deliver consistent performance, smooth passage through delicate tissue planes and secure knot formation. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional hospital and specialist clinical environments.
