- High initial tensile strength
- Soft and smooth feel that helps in easy passage through the tissue with minimal trauma
- Good knotting properties
- Excellent handling and smooth tie down
- Due to the low molecular weight compared to regular Polyglactin 910 or Polyglycolic Acid sutures,
Damacryl Rapid sutures achieve rapid absorption in the tissues.
