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 Microsurgical Suture, product code W1770, is designed for ultra-fine tissue approximation where exceptional precision and minimal tissue trauma are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable nylon monofilament, ETHILON provides extremely smooth tissue passage, very low tissue reactivity and reliable long-term tensile strength.
The USP 10-0 size is intended for ophthalmic and microvascular procedures requiring highly delicate wound closure. The 12 inch (30 cm) strand length allows precise control within confined microsurgical fields.
W1770 is supplied double-armed (D/A) with two TG140-6 taper point needles, each measuring approximately 6 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The taper point configuration enables atraumatic penetration of delicate tissue and supports balanced, symmetrical microsurgical approximation.
Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12 sutures, this product is intended for specialist hospital and microsurgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable micro-closure performance.
