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.

LUXSUTURES® Luxylene Polypropylene sutures are non-absorbable monofilament surgical sutures designed for secure and long-term wound closure. Manufactured from isotactic polypropylene, these sutures deliver excellent tensile strength with minimal tissue reactivity, making them suitable for extremely delicate procedures requiring permanent support.
The smooth monofilament construction allows atraumatic passage through tissue, reducing drag and minimising bacterial adherence. The blue suture colour enhances visibility during placement and knot tying, supporting accurate handling in clinical and veterinary environments.
This variant is supplied double-armed with two HR 8 taper point needles, designed for atraumatic penetration of fine soft tissue without cutting fibres. The taper point geometry enables smooth tissue passage and controlled wound edge approximation. Supplied sterile and single-use.
