Collection details
SutureVet stocks a specialist range of veterinary dental sutures designed for the unique demands of intraoral surgery in animals. The oral cavity presents specific challenges — a moist, mobile environment with constant bacterial exposure — requiring suture materials that resist degradation, tie securely in wet conditions, and minimise post-operative patient discomfort.
Our veterinary dental suture range includes absorbable and non-absorbable options in both monofilament and braided constructions, available in fine gauges appropriate for gingival tissue, oral mucosa, and intraoral soft tissue repair. Needle configurations are selected for precise placement in the confined spaces of the oral cavity, with atraumatic profiles that reduce tissue trauma during suture passage.
Suitable for use in dogs, cats, rabbits, and other veterinary species undergoing dental extractions, periodontal surgery, oral mass removal, or palate repair. All products are sourced from ISO-certified manufacturers and supplied sterile and individually packaged.
SutureVet supplies veterinary dental specialists and general practices with dental capability across the UK. Order online with fast UK dispatch and competitive trade pricing.

Durable and Reliable Material for Hernia Repair
The Ethicon PROLENE Hernia Mesh is crafted from knitted polypropylene, a non-absorbable synthetic material widely recognized for its strength and biocompatibility. This mesh is designed to provide long-lasting support in hernia repair surgeries by creating a stable scaffold for tissue growth. Its knitted structure enhances flexibility and conformability, allowing it to adapt well to the patient’s anatomy. The robust polypropylene fibers resist degradation, ensuring the mesh maintains its integrity over time, which is essential for preventing hernia recurrence and promoting patient recovery.
Precision Dimensions and Keyhole Design
This hernia repair mesh measures 4.5 cm by 10.1 cm, a size optimized for effective placement in common hernia repair procedures. The keyhole configuration allows better accommodation around anatomical structures, making surgical fixation simpler and more secure. This design minimizes tension on the surrounding tissues while providing adequate coverage of the defect, reducing postoperative complications and enhancing healing. The box of three meshes offers surgeons convenient multiple-use options for various cases or bilateral repairs.
Efficient Hernia Mesh & Fixation Solution
Ethicon PROLENE Hernia Mesh is part of a comprehensive hernia mesh and fixation system engineered for optimal surgical outcomes. The mesh can be easily fixed using standard surgical techniques, ensuring stable positioning during and after the procedure. Its non-absorbable nature supports long-term repair strength, while the knitted texture promotes tissue integration. This product is trusted in clinical settings worldwide for its reliable performance, helping surgeons provide patients with durable and effective hernia repair solutions.
