Veterinary Wound Closure
In veterinary medicine, there are several options for wound closure, depending on the severity and location of the injury. Wounds can be closed under general anaesthesia or sedation, depending on the lesion and its extent. This category offers a wide range of materials for closing wounds of all types.
Surgical Needles for Wound Closure
For suturing in veterinary medicine, sharp, pointed, or sometimes round needles are required, used in combination with the appropriate suture thread. Needles that require a separate thread, such as those with an eyelet or spring, are known as traumatic needles. The choice of needle depends on the type of tissue being sutured. Veterinary surgical needles are available in various sizes, strengths, shapes, and eye types.
Needles with a round profile are typically used for delicate tissues, such as in ophthalmic or intestinal surgery, while needles with a triangular cutting profile, which both pierce and cut, are used for tougher tissues like skin and muscle. At Praxisdienst, you will find surgical needles for veterinary medicine suitable for a wide range of wounds and surgical procedures.
Suture Material for Veterinary Surgery
This category includes all needle-and-thread combinations, as well as individual suture threads. Needles already attached to the suture are called atraumatic needles, which minimise additional tissue damage because the diameter of the needle and thread is closely matched.
Depending on the tissue, either absorbable or non-absorbable sutures are used. Absorbable sutures are used for internal organs or subcutaneous tissue and dissolve on their own, reducing the risk of inflammation. Non-absorbable sutures need to be removed by the veterinarian and are used in accessible areas where removal is straightforward.
Tissue Adhesive for Superficial Wounds
For smaller, superficial wounds, suturing may not be necessary. Tissue adhesives can close these wounds effectively, promoting better healing without additional trauma to the tissue. Their antibacterial components reduce the risk of infection. Treatment is painless and does not require anaesthesia.
Wound Closure with Skin Staplers
Skin staplers allow for the rapid closure of longer surgical wounds and are a suitable alternative to traditional sutures. Their use reduces scarring and minimises the risk of allergic reactions to suture material, making them a practical choice in veterinary medicine.
Suture Material Stands
Praxisdienst offers flat spool and suture material stands for organised and hygienic storage of your surgical wound closure materials. Required items can be stored securely and within easy reach, ensuring quick access for veterinary staff during procedures.
