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 Coated VICRYL is a synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and coated to enhance handling characteristics, knot security and tissue glide. Absorption occurs by hydrolysis, resulting in minimal tissue reaction and predictable tensile strength retention during the early stages of wound healing.
This USP 8-0 violet suture is supplied in a short 15 cm length and is armed with a single-armed 6.5 mm reverse spatula needle with a 3/8 circle curvature, specifically designed for ophthalmic and ultra-fine microsurgical procedures requiring exceptional control and accuracy.
Coated VICRYL sutures provide excellent pliability, smooth passage through delicate tissues and secure knot formation, making them well suited to high-precision surgical environments. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional hospital and specialist clinical use.
