VetSuture

VetSuture

Featuring both absorbable and nonabsorbable wound-closing sutures, the Arthrex VetSuture line uses only black needles for enhanced visibility and minimal glare. The needles were designed to reduce drag, allow for easier penetration, maintain sharpness, and resist bending, for efficient and consistent suturing.

MonoPGA-PCL

MonoPGA-PCL

This violet, synthetic, absorbable monofilament has excellent pliability and handling characteristics. It retains 42% to 76% tensile strength at 7 days, 36% to 52% at 14 days, and is essentially absorbed at 90 days.¹ MonoPGA-PCL offers significantly less drag than absorbable synthetic sutures, provides excellent knot security, and offers a consistently reliable breaking strength, retention, and absorption rate. These characteristics make it very popular for subcuticular closure and soft-tissue approximation.

Nylon

Nylon

Our blue, nonabsorbable, monofilament Nylon is a polyamide suture with characteristic high-tensile strength. The uniform smooth surface permits easy passage through tissue. All our suture is configured in racetrack packaging to minimize memory. We offer this suture in multiple sizes with a variety of needle types.

Polydioxanone

Polydioxanone

This violet, medium-term synthetic absorbable monofilament is indicated for use in general soft-tissue approximation and/or ligation. Polydioxanone boasts a high initial tensile strength, providing wound support for slow-healing tissues such as muscle and fascia. Soft and pliable, the construct is absorbable with extended wound support for up to 6 weeks. At 14 days, it retains 80% to 90% tensile strength, 60% to 82% at 28 days, 47% to 79% at 42 days.¹ Polydioxanone is essentially absorbed between 180 and 220 days.

PolyPGA

PolyPGA

The extraordinarily smooth, low-friction proprietary coating on this suture reduces tissue drag. PolyPGA is a synthetic absorbable suture with exceptional strength that ensures closure through the critical wound healing period, up to 4 weeks. Its synthetic nature offers minimal tissue inflammation and is ideal for tissues requiring knot security. It retains approximately 50% of its high initial strength at 2 weeks and 20% at 3 weeks.¹ It is available as violet multifilament.

Polypropylene

Polypropylene

Inert, smooth, and easy to handle, polypropylene is our most versatile monofilament suture. Its tensile strength is superior to other true monofilaments. In addition, a unique extruding technique ensures a uniformly round cross section and a strand that passes easily through tissue for better knot security with fewer throws.
