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.

The Ethicon MONOCRYL™ PLUS Antibacterial Suture MCP4940H is a sterile synthetic absorbable monofilament suture manufactured from poliglecaprone 25, designed for precise soft tissue approximation and ligation.
MONOCRYL™ PLUS sutures incorporate IRGACARE® MP (triclosan), a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent that has been shown in vitro to inhibit bacterial colonisation on the suture surface. This antimicrobial protection helps reduce the risk of microbial attachment during the critical wound healing period.
The monofilament construction allows smooth tissue passage while minimising tissue trauma and reducing the potential for bacterial adherence compared with braided sutures.
This version of MONOCRYL™ PLUS is supplied undyed, providing a clear monofilament option where minimal visual contrast is preferred during delicate surgical procedures.
Poliglecaprone 25 has been demonstrated to be non-antigenic, non-pyrogenic and associated with minimal tissue reaction during absorption, making it suitable for delicate tissue closure.
The suture is supplied attached to a stainless steel P-3 needle and packaged sterile for single-use surgical procedures.
MONOCRYL™ PLUS sutures are commonly used in plastic surgery, dermatologic closure, subcuticular skin closure and delicate soft tissue approximation procedures where antibacterial suture protection may be beneficial.

The Ethicon MONOCRYL™ Absorbable Suture NP0126 is a sterile synthetic absorbable monofilament suture manufactured from poliglecaprone 25, designed for soft tissue approximation and ligation.
MONOCRYL™ sutures are produced from a copolymer of glycolide and ε-caprolactone, providing excellent handling characteristics, reliable knot security and smooth tissue passage.
The monofilament structure minimises tissue drag and reduces the potential for bacterial adherence compared with braided sutures, making it suitable for delicate tissue approximation.
This version of MONOCRYL™ is supplied undyed, providing a clear monofilament option often preferred for procedures requiring minimal visual contrast.
Poliglecaprone 25 has been shown to be non-antigenic, non-pyrogenic and associated with minimal tissue reaction during absorption, making MONOCRYL™ sutures suitable for delicate tissue closure.
