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 STRATAFIX Polypropylene is a synthetic non-absorbable monofilament surgical suture manufactured from polypropylene, engineered with a bidirectional spiral knotless design for continuous tissue fixation and long-term wound support.
This USP 0 suture is supplied in a 28 cm length and features an undyed monofilament construction to minimise tissue reactivity and visibility during closure. It is double-armed with two taperpoint needles, each measuring 22 mm with a 1/2 circle curvature, enabling smooth tissue passage with minimal trauma.
The STRATAFIX spiral design distributes tension evenly along the suture line, eliminating the need for knot tying while maintaining secure, long-lasting wound approximation. STRATAFIX Polypropylene sutures provide excellent tensile strength, minimal tissue response and reliable handling. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional surgical environments.
