Ours is Bovi-Vet Suture tape from Krusse also: http://www.kruuse.com/en/ecom/Suturer_og_n%C3%A5le/Skedesuturer/BOVIVET_skedeb%C3%A5nd/prod_152130.aspx

Plus one for hating the spring-time prolapse rush.

I made a personal discovery (which may be something everyone else already knows) which revolutionised the whole experience for me - I catheterise every bladder with a lamb feeding tube. Instant relief for poor ewe who in many cases was only trying to have a wee before prolapsing. They actually groan with relief. Also makes a nice use for those feeding tubes which seem to breed in our clinic.

On HS under something like 6mm nylon tape. We got some recently.

We use very little these days and tend to sell and fit harnesses. They do a better job and are much more welfare friendly. Used to be a steady stream of prolapses to stitch.
