ABSTRACT:
A suture block is a device used to secure surgical sutures, without using knots. By securing the thread with a suture block, it is possible to close a suture in a contact with the tissue, without damaging or mortifying the latter, and without provoking icchemia in the tissue which is compressed by the loop of thread needed to tie a traditional surgical knot. This means that the surgeon no longer has to change the disposition of the operational field at each knot and can avoid having to put down the forceps or the needle-holder, in order to tie a normal knot, thereby saving time. Moreover, far less thread is required and most importantly, the pain caused by the knotted thread damaged and constricts the tissue, is significantly reduced.
