Reverse Cutting Needle 3/8 Circle Vet Sutures

SutureVet's reverse cutting needle 3/8 circle veterinary sutures combine two of the most clinically versatile suture characteristics into a single, highly practical product. The 3/8 circle needle curvature is the most widely used needle geometry in veterinary surgery, offering an ideal balance between tissue penetration arc and manoeuvrability in both open and moderately confined surgical sites. Paired with a reverse cutting needle profile, these sutures deliver superior resistance to suture cut-out compared to conventional cutting needles — making them the go-to choice for skin closure and tough connective tissue repair.

The reverse cutting edge is positioned on the outer curve of the needle, directing the flat face towards the wound edge and significantly reducing the risk of the suture tearing through tissue under tension. This combination makes the 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle ideal for routine skin closure, subcutaneous tissue, fascia, and external wound repair across all veterinary species including dogs, cats, horses, cattle, and exotics.

Available across a range of absorbable and non-absorbable suture materials and gauges. All products are supplied sterile and individually packaged from ISO-certified manufacturers trusted by veterinary surgeons across the UK.
