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 3-0 violet suture is supplied in a 70 cm length and is armed with a single-armed 22 mm Taper Point Plus needle with a 1/2 circle curvature, designed for smooth, atraumatic tissue penetration while maintaining excellent control during fine soft tissue 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 surgical environments.

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 3-0 violet suture is supplied in a 70 cm length and is armed with a single-armed 22 mm tapercut needle with a 1/2 circle curvature, combining the penetrating efficiency of a cutting tip with the tissue-sparing characteristics of a taper body for controlled soft tissue closure.
