ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a novel slipknot for use as a suture knot in surgical procedures along with a simplified method for such knot's formation and a pre-formed suture system which provides a protoknot of the novel suture knot mounted on a tubular member or a knot tightener having a channel passing therethrough. The protoknot is formed into a completed suture knot by straight-line passage of the standing part of the filament, to which the surgical needle is initially attached, through the tubular member or the channel of the knot tightener and disengagement of same from the filament after passage of the filament through the patient's tissue.
