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.

This PDS® Plus Antibacterial (Polydioxanone) Veterinary Surgical Suture, product code PDP9370H, is engineered for dependable soft tissue approximation in animal health procedures requiring extended tensile strength and antimicrobial protection. Manufactured from synthetic absorbable polydioxanone monofilament, PDS® Plus incorporates triclosan antibacterial technology to support infection risk management in veterinary surgical environments.
The USP 1 diameter provides substantial tensile strength suitable for higher-tension closures and approximation of larger tissue structures in companion and large animal surgery. The monofilament construction ensures smooth tissue passage, reduced tissue drag and reliable knot security during placement.
Each suture features a 90 cm strand length, supporting extended closure techniques and controlled handling across larger operative fields. Supplied with a V-37 TAPERCUT® needle (40 mm), this configuration combines a tapered body with a precision cutting tip, facilitating penetration through dense or fibrous tissue while maintaining atraumatic passage through softer layers.
With an extended absorption profile of approximately 182–238 days, PDS® Plus maintains tensile strength throughout the critical healing phase before gradual hydrolytic absorption. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this product is intended for professional veterinary and animal health surgical settings requiring reliable long-term absorbable wound closure with antibacterial protection.
