- Here's a tutorial to learn and understand the one handed knot, with the best tips and tricks I learned from different people. Perfect the technique slowly at first, and then build speed. Let me know if this was helpful!
Practice, practice, practice!
Thanks for watching

Best, clearest video i have seen on this. Thank you!
Yes, this was a great explanation.
Yes, I'm still mesmerized. And in awe.
Wonderful, thanks a lot ❤
Boy Scout leader here (also Eagle Scout, etc.)
Already teach the boys the basic Scout knots, and about 20 more as well.
Being able to
1. Show that these knot tying skills can be important in "the real world"
And
2. A different technique for tying the square knot
Ahhh... it's great
Best tutorials for hand tying I have found! Thank you
Thank u so much for the effort u have put into this video..this is the most clear and easiest to follow one hand knot tying video that I have come across
Thank you. Easy to follow and understand!
Very good. With monofilament suture materials, producing the desired tissue tension is often most easily done by putting down 2 identical throws first ("granny knot"). Then the tissue tension is adjusted correctly and a throw to create a square knot is placed. The original second throw that created the granny knot may be flipped to a flat position to receive the third (square) throw by changing tension on it from the right hand to the left.
If that isn't done or can't be done, an additional throw will be needed to produce a flat square knot. With ligatures it's done differently. Braided material is easier to tie, of course, but precise tissue tension is always the goal and must be achieved. On a repair that requires several interrupted sutures, the knots should all be on the same side and aligned to visualize apposition optimally, otherwise why bother being a real surgeon.
awesome video - very clear and easy compared to most others on youtube. thanks!
You are the Boss man.. Have seen a lot of videos on this, but yours was most explanatory and I learnt with it. Thanks a bunch.

Awesome video! Thank you!
Best video showing this!
Amazing explanation well done Dr
Some people struggle to understand the complexities of biochemistry or ideopathic epidemiology.
Other people stuggle to grasp the complexity of tying a knot 😗
Amazing video, I've watched tons of other hand tying videos and could not follow properly. This is the best, well done, you're a great teacher. Looking forward to more cool content from this channel :)
thank you doc!
Thank you so much for video!! I really hope you gonna create it more🙏🙏
Can i ask you a question? Do we cut the needle part away when we tie drains?
Great vid! A bit confused on when you’d use needle driver + forceps for instrument knot vs one-handed knot
The difference is that hand tying usually keeps tension better and allows you to be more sure where you're putting the knot because you use your finger to push the knot down. Inside the body, we generally hand tie that reason. Otherwise, for example with skin lacerations, instrument tie or hand tie comes down to your own preference. Hope that helps!
Finally, I get how my attendings are so fast
Which type of knot you prefer
can you watch Teacher Kim in the medical Kdrama "Romantic doctor"? I don't know what technique is he doing and he is doing it so fast .
Do you switch the free end hand to have the initial cross every time?
Not sure if this is what you mean - you keep the free end in the same hand all the time, but yes you switch the type of knot to get a proper square knot
Donavan Pham, MD like do you always end up with the needle driver in the same hand? I’d assume if not, you need to cross your hands still and do the knot tie the opposite way?
is it hard to take GS?
is it acceptable to just slip the knots down without pulling in the opposite direction? sometimes i see surgeons do that. It creates a slip knot not a square knot?
Great question! Yes, in reality, because the sutures are small and braided, perfect square knots aren't always necessary to maintain tightness. However, if you're using sutures with more memory, slip knots become more risky. Perfecting a square knot technique is all about being consistent at all times to minimize any chance of your suture becoming loose
Thank you for this question, I literally see this at work all the time!
Why do i need to use my left hand even if i am right handed?
a ơi sao lại ưu tien cột tay trái ạ
lol
I mean the setup makes no sense in the first place since in real life the wound you want to stitch is at a 90° angle of you, not like your setup 0° angel (you're "below" the wound going straight up)
