1. Surgeon's knot

   The surgeon's knot is a surgical knot and is a simple modification to the reef knot. It adds an extra twist when tying the first throw, forming a double overhand knot. The additional turn provides more friction and can reduce loosening while the second half of the knot is tied. This knot is commonly used by surgeons in situations where it is important to maintain tension on a suture, giving it its name.Surgeon's knots are also used in fly fishing, in tying quilts, and for tying knots with twine; it is particularly useful in tying raw meat with butcher's twine, as the wet meat creates similar risks of loosening as surgery. Some sources categorize the surgeon's knot as a bend, since it can be effective as such.Like the reef knot, the surgeon's knot capsizes and fails if one of the working ends is pulled away from the standing end closest to it.

   A surgeon's knot is a type of knot that is used in surgery to secure sutures. It is known for its robustness and security, making it less likely to slip under tension than other types of knots. It is similar to a square knot but has an additional pass-through on the first half of the knot. The details of how it is tied can vary slightly depending on the specific application. Outside of surgery, it can also be used in jewelry-making and fishing, among other uses.
