Browse our full range of surgical sutures from Ethicon and other leading manufacturers. Vena Cava stocks absorbable and non-absorbable sutures in all common sizes, needle profiles, and materials for general surgery, minor procedures, emergency departments, and specialist surgical units across the UK.
Our absorbable suture range includes Coated VICRYL (polyglactin 910), VICRYL Rapide for fast-absorbing skin closure, MONOCRYL (poliglecaprone 25), PDS II (polydioxanone), and VICRYL Plus antibacterial sutures. These sutures are broken down naturally by the body and eliminate the need for removal, making them ideal for internal tissue layers, subcuticular closures, and oral surgery.
For permanent wound support, we stock Mersilk (braided silk), Prolene (polypropylene), Ethilon (nylon), and GLYCOLON monofilament sutures. Non-absorbable sutures are used in skin closure, cardiovascular procedures, tendon repair, and any application requiring long-term tensile strength.
All sutures are available with a range of needle attachments including taper point, reverse cutting, conventional cutting, and precision point profiles. Needle sizes range from 8mm micro-surgery needles to 48mm large curved needles, with half-circle and three-eighths circle curvatures to suit every surgical approach.
Complete your wound closure setup with Biopatch protective disks, skin staples, and adhesive wound closure strips, all available for next-day delivery from Vena Cava.
Vena Cava is honored to stand side by side with the NHS in its commitment to providing world-class healthcare. Together, we can build a healthier future for communities across the UK.
