"The Surgeon's Knot"

A surgeon's knot is a type of knot used in sewing, surgery, and other crafts to securely join two pieces of thread or suture. It involves making an initial knot with two turns around the surrounding thread to increase friction and hold tension, followed by additional throws to lock the knot in place. This technique provides extra security compared to a standard knot, reducing the chance of slipping or coming undone under tension. It’s commonly used in medical suturing because it ensures wounds stay closed securely during healing.
