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.

Product Description
Ethicon NUROLON is a non-absorbable braided nylon surgical suture manufactured from polyamide fibres to provide dependable tensile strength and excellent knot security.
The braided construction enhances handling characteristics and supports firm, consistent tissue approximation across a wide range of surgical procedures.
This USP 1 black variant measures 75 cm in length and is supplied with a 22 mm 1/2 circle reverse cutting needle, designed for precise penetration through skin and tougher tissue while reducing the risk of tearing.
As a non-absorbable suture, NUROLON is intended for procedures requiring extended tissue support and durable wound closure.
Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional surgical environments.

Ethicon PDS™ II (polydioxanone) Sutures are high-performance, synthetic absorbable monofilament sutures engineered for extended wound support and minimal tissue reaction.
Constructed from polydioxanone polymer, PDS™ II sutures provide smooth tissue passage and maintain tensile strength significantly longer than braided absorbable alternatives, making them ideal for procedures requiring prolonged support.
This configuration features a USP 2-0 gauge, 70cm (27 inch) length, and double-armed STP-10 taper point needles, offering precision placement and optimal control in delicate and high-tension closures.
The violet colour enhances intraoperative visibility for improved handling and accuracy.
