Two-Handed Surgical Knot Tying

The two handed tie is arguably harder to learn, and not as fast as the one-handed tie. It does have some advantages, which makes it worth learning, especially since you might get asked to perform it in the OR. I was taught this technique for two-handed tying by a pediatric surgeon, and I never forgot since. Let me know if this was helpful!
Thanks for watching!

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Hi Don, can i keep here a link of my techniques of surgical knot tying? 🤓👍

So you don't have to alternate between backhand and forehand throws with this method?

Thank you very much

How to make the first knot tight? Thanks!

[@donavanpham]

You can do a surgeon's knot, or a slip knot. I agree that it's not so easy to get it consistent, I'll have to make a video about it!

Practice makes perfect

The 1st throw is not flat

[@veemon9280]

Ok. This looks easier than the surgeon's knot where you have to flip the string on your middle finger. That always confuses me
