If somone was to recieve a non leathal cut or slash, the wound would need to be treated and closed. So I have been looking for a surgical sewing kit as it would (IMO) be invaluable if the emergency ward was not an option.

So i'm looking to get somthing like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Survival-Surgical-...B005CQBR6S but can't find anything in the UK.

So are they (surgical sewing kits) legal to buy in the UK? If so where could I get one, or can I import form abroard without hassle from Customs?

If it is minor / non lethal, then place duct tape either side of wound and stitch the tape and not the flesh. Any puncture wound drives surface bacteria deep into the new wound and can cause deep infection - don't do it if you can find an alterative method. There is always an alternative way.
Super glue works too. I've had a few nasty wounds and treat them at home and close with super glue - ARGH! Tissue damage! Hey I'm still here. Don't sweat it.
