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 LUXAMID Nylon Veterinary Non-Absorbable Surgical Sutures are monofilament synthetic sutures manufactured by LuxSutures from polyamide (nylon 6.0 or 6.6), designed to provide reliable long-term wound support in veterinary surgical procedures.
The smooth monofilament construction results in minimal tissue drag, low capillarity, and reduced tissue reaction, while the blue colouring improves visibility within animal tissue during placement and knot tying. As a non-absorbable material, LUXAMID nylon offers high tensile strength and secure knot performance, making it suitable for procedures requiring prolonged mechanical support.
Although classified as non-absorbable, LuxSutures LUXAMID nylon sutures are gradually encapsulated by connective tissue. Over time, the suture mass diminishes by approximately 10% per year due to slow hydrolytic rupture of chemical links, allowing long-term presence without rapid degradation.
This LuxSutures LUXAMID variant is supplied in metric 3.5 size with a length of 100 cm and is presented in a cassette format for controlled dispensing during veterinary surgical procedures. The blue colour reflects the nylon monofilament construction.
LuxSutures LUXAMID veterinary sutures are commonly used for ligation, skin closure, soft tissue approximation, and general veterinary surgery where durable, long-term wound support and minimal tissue reaction are required.
Supplied as 1 sterile cassette per pack, individually packaged to maintain sterility and ensure consistent professional veterinary performance.
