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 COATED VICRYL® Plus Antibacterial Surgical Suture, product code VCP7950E, is designed for secure soft tissue approximation where predictable absorption and enhanced antimicrobial protection are required. Manufactured from polyglactin 910, this braided absorbable suture incorporates an antibacterial coating that helps inhibit bacterial colonisation of the suture for up to 7 days.
The USP 3-0 diameter provides reliable tensile performance suitable for controlled soft tissue closure in moderate-tension environments. The violet braided construction enhances intraoperative visibility while maintaining smooth handling and dependable knot security.
Each pack contains eight 70 cm strands, offering extended working length and efficiency across multiple closure points within a single procedure. Supplied with a JB-1 taperpoint flat needle, this configuration enables smooth, atraumatic penetration through soft tissue with enhanced needle stability and control.
COATED VICRYL® Plus is fully absorbable via hydrolysis, providing predictable tensile strength retention followed by gradual absorption as healing progresses. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 24, this product is suitable for professional surgical environments requiring absorbable closure with antibacterial support.
