Surgeon’s knot

A surgeon’s knot is a type of knot used by medical professionals and in sewing to securely tie sutures or threads. It involves an initial double wrap around the material to increase friction and hold, followed by standard overhand knots to ensure the knot stays tight during healing. Its design provides extra security compared to a basic knot, making it less likely to slip or come undone. This knot is especially useful in situations where tension or movement could loosen a regular knot, providing reliable and stable closure of tissue or fabric until proper healing or sewing is complete.
