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.

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 5-0 undyed suture is supplied in a 45 cm length and is armed with a single-armed 13 mm Taper Point needle with a 1/2 circle curvature, designed to deliver smooth, controlled tissue penetration with excellent precision for delicate soft tissue and subcutaneous closure.
VICRYL PLUS sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, resulting in minimal tissue reaction and predictable tensile strength retention during early wound healing. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 36 for professional hospital and clinical environments.

Ethicon VICRYL is a synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910, engineered to deliver dependable wound support with predictable absorption and minimal tissue reaction.
This USP 2-0 violet suture is supplied in an extended 250 cm length in an unarmed configuration, making it suitable for ligation, continuous suturing, and knot tying where a separate needle selection is preferred or required.
VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, resulting in gradual and predictable loss of tensile strength as healing progresses. The braided construction ensures excellent handling and secure knot performance. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional hospital and clinical environments.
