Generalities
Extra ties do not add to the strength of a properly tied knot. They only contribute to its damage.
Be as small as possible
Minimize the inflammatory reaction
Mistakes we often do
Friction between wires = lost integrity of the material Handling the suture material with a surgical instrument
Except when grasping the free end of the wire during an instrument tie
What do we need?
Wires; Scissors; Forceps/ Needle holder
Types of knots
1.The square knot 2.The surgeons knot 3.The forceps/instrument tie 4.Half Hitch Knot
It can be made: On hand On instrument It has the ends on the same side where they were when we started;
Its used for tying most of the types of surgical threads
The first tie - double; Sailors knot/ friction; Asymmetric; This knot is not getting loose during the execution of the second tie
3. Instrument tie
Its made with the needle holder or Pean forceps We can make:
A square knot A knot with multiple loops
Its hard to be performed in deep tissue If its properly done its a good quality knot Usually its made where there is not needed a lot tension in the wound
4.Half-Hitch knot
Used for deep ligatures Its based on sliding the loops on a thread which is holded in tension: The sliding is always made with the index The second hand holds the free end of the thread in tension The tightening is made in his depths A third tie is made for the security and the maintenance of the first two
Half-Hitch Knot
Half-Hitch knot
4 knots:
