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 engineered for ultra-fine and highly controlled wound closure in microsurgical applications. Manufactured from isotactic polypropylene, these sutures provide excellent tensile strength with minimal tissue reactivity, making them ideal for procedures requiring permanent support at microscopic scale.
The smooth monofilament construction allows atraumatic passage through delicate tissue, reducing drag and minimising tissue trauma. The blue suture colour enhances visibility under magnification, supporting precise handling in specialist surgical environments.
This variant is supplied double-armed with DSP 064 side cutting spatula needles, designed specifically for ophthalmic and microsurgical procedures. The side cutting spatula profile enables controlled lamellar tissue dissection and precise placement while minimising tissue disruption. Supplied sterile and single-use.
