What does the one handed tying technique involve?

The one-handed tying technique involves a suture tying method that is executed using only one hand. This technique is particularly useful in surgical settings where the surgeon may need to maintain control of instruments or tissue with the other hand while securing knots. By employing this method, the surgical assistant can effectively create secure knots without needing to put down instruments or disrupt the flow of the procedure.

This technique is often favored in minimally invasive surgeries where space is limited, and it can enhance efficiency by allowing the assistant to tie knots quickly and precisely. Mastery of the one-handed tying technique is essential for surgical assistants as it demonstrates dexterity and can improve overall surgical outcomes.
