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 VICRYL PLUS is a synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and coated with an antibacterial agent (triclosan) to inhibit bacterial colonisation of the suture surface, helping reduce the risk of surgical site infection.
This USP 2 violet product is supplied as five separate 27 inch (70 cm) unarmed strands per unit, with no needle attached. The non-needled configuration is intended for ligatures, vessel tying and soft tissue control, offering flexibility in technique and secure knot performance.
VICRYL PLUS sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, resulting in minimal tissue reaction and predictable tensile strength retention during early wound healing. Each ligature set is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 36 for professional hospital and surgical environments.
