surgical knot tying

Surgical knot tying is a method used by surgeons to securely close wounds or connect tissues during medical procedures. It involves looping a special suture material around itself in specific patterns to create a knot that stays tight without slipping. Proper technique ensures the knot maintains tension, prevents bleeding, and promotes healing. Surgeons carefully place these knots, often using multiple throws, to ensure they are secure enough to hold tissues together during healing. Mastery of knot tying is essential for effective surgical repairs and positive patient outcomes.
