Tying a loop-to-strand suture: Is it safe?

Article Abstract:

A study was undertaken to evaluate the integrity of the loop-to-strand knot when tied with square and nonidentical sliding knots. It was found that the loop-to-strand termination of a continuous suture may be acceptable when tied with a 6-throw flat square knot but not acceptable if tied with sliding knots.

Knot integrity with nonidentical and parallel sliding knots

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to test the knot integrity of parallel and nonidentical sliding knots with the use of monofilament suture. It was concluded that the parallel ones demonstrate superior knot integrity and the addition of throws to the nonidentical knot improves its knot security.
