Collection details
SutureVet's small animal and exotic veterinary sutures range brings together fine-gauge, low-reactivity suture materials suited to the diverse species and procedures encountered in small animal and exotic animal practice. From routine companion animal surgery to specialist exotic interventions, our range provides the clinical breadth and precision required across this varied patient group.
We stock absorbable monofilament and braided sutures in fine gauges appropriate for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, chinchillas, reptiles, birds, and other small or exotic species. Non-absorbable options are also available for skin closure where suture removal is planned. Needle configurations include atraumatic taper point profiles for internal tissue and fine reverse cutting options for delicate skin closure in smaller patients.
The smaller body size and often fragile tissue of exotic species demands careful suture selection — our range is curated with this in mind, prioritising materials that minimise tissue trauma, reduce post-operative reactivity, and support reliable healing across a wide range of species-specific physiologies.
All products are supplied sterile and individually packaged from ISO-certified manufacturers. Order online with fast UK dispatch and competitive trade pricing from SutureVet.

LUXSUTURES® Luxylene Polypropylene sutures are non-absorbable monofilament surgical sutures designed for secure and long-term wound closure. Manufactured from isotactic polypropylene, these sutures offer excellent tensile strength with minimal tissue reaction, making them suitable for procedures requiring permanent wound support.
The smooth monofilament construction ensures easy passage through tissue while reducing drag and minimising bacterial adherence. The blue colour improves intraoperative visibility, supporting accurate placement and knot security.
This variant features a DS 19 reverse cutting needle, engineered to provide controlled penetration of tougher tissues such as skin. The reverse cutting geometry reduces the risk of tissue tearing while enabling clean, precise incision edges. Supplied sterile and single-use, these sutures are suitable for hospital, clinical, and veterinary environments.
