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 is a synthetic absorbable surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and coated to enhance handling characteristics while minimising tissue drag during placement in delicate surgical fields.
This USP 10-0 violet suture is supplied in a 10 cm length and is armed with a single-armed 6.5 mm CS Ultima Conventional needle featuring a 3/8 circle curvature. The CS Ultima needle is engineered for exceptional sharpness and control, enabling precise penetration and accurate placement in extremely fine and delicate tissues.
VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, providing predictable and gradual loss of tensile strength as healing progresses while minimising tissue reaction. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for specialist hospital and microsurgical clinical environments.

LUXAMID Nylon Non-Absorbable Monofilament Surgical Sutures are intended for general soft tissue approximation and ligation where long-term tensile strength is required. Manufactured from high-quality polyamide monofilament, these sutures are non-absorbable and produce minimal tissue reaction.
The smooth monofilament construction provides low tissue drag, excellent handling characteristics, and reliable knot security, supporting precise placement and consistent clinical performance. The blue colouring enhances visibility against tissue, aiding accurate suture placement during procedures.
This variant is supplied in USP 3/0, 75 cm length, and fitted with an HR 20 (20 mm) reverse cutting needle. Reverse cutting needles feature the cutting edge on the outer curvature, reducing tissue cut-out risk while providing controlled penetration for skin and tougher tissue closure.
LUXAMID nylon sutures are widely used in hospitals, clinics, and surgical centres for skin closure, general surgery, and plastic surgery applications where non-absorbable wound support is required. Each box contains 12 sterile sutures, individually packaged to maintain sterility and suitability for professional surgical use.
