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.

Ethicon VICRYL PLUS is a synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and coated with the antibacterial agent triclosan to inhibit bacterial colonisation of the suture surface, helping reduce the risk of surgical site infection.
This USP 0 violet suture is supplied in a 27 inch (68 cm) length and is armed with a single-armed CP-2 needle. The CP-2 conventional cutting needle is designed for controlled penetration of skin and tougher tissues, supporting accurate placement and reliable wound edge approximation during surgical closure.
VICRYL PLUS sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, resulting in minimal tissue reaction and predictable tensile strength retention during early wound healing. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 36 for professional hospital and surgical environments.

Ethicon VICRYL is a synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture manufactured from polyglactin 910 and coated to improve handling characteristics while reducing tissue drag during placement.
This USP 6-0 violet suture is supplied in a 45 cm length and is armed with a single-armed 13 mm reverse cutting needle featuring a 3/8 circle curvature. The reverse cutting needle positions the cutting edge on the outer curvature, reducing the risk of tissue cut-out while enabling controlled penetration of tougher tissues such as skin.
VICRYL sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis, providing predictable and gradual loss of tensile strength as healing progresses while minimising tissue reaction. The braided construction ensures smooth handling and dependable knot security. Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 36 for professional hospital and clinical environments.
