Straight Needles

SutureVet's straight suture needles are used in veterinary surgery where direct, linear tissue penetration is required without the rotational motion needed for curved needles. Their straight profile allows the surgeon to drive the needle through tissue in a single linear pass, making them particularly well suited to skin closure, subcutaneous tissue, and tendon repair in situations where a straight path through the wound is accessible.

Straight needles are commonly used in large animal and farm animal surgery, where hand-held suturing without a needle holder is practical and efficient — particularly in field conditions or during high-throughput farm procedures. They are also used in specific small animal applications where the wound geometry favours a straight needle approach.

Our straight needle range is available across a variety of absorbable and non-absorbable suture materials and gauges, suitable for use in all veterinary species from companion animals to large farm animals. All products are supplied sterile and individually packaged from ISO-certified manufacturers trusted by veterinary surgeons across the UK.
