A table showing the failure modes of the suture loops, a figure illustrating the strength testing procedures, and videos demonstrating techniques for tying the first knot throw

Video 1: Making the first throw of the two-strand overhand loop by using a needle holder without the help of an assistant. The overhand loop is slid down with forceps within the loop. After withdrawing the forceps, the two strands of suture are separated and pulled in different directions, bringing the overhand loop down to approximate the tissues being closed.

Video 2: Making the first throw of the two-strand overhand loop by hand without the help of an assistant.

Video 3: Making the first throw of the two-strand overhand loop by using a needle holder with the help of an assistant. This may be particularly helpful if the tissue to be sutured is under tension. After the tissue ends are approximated by sliding down the overhand loop with a forceps, an assistant can hold the knot in position, then the forceps is withdrawn and the loop is tied with the securing square knot.

Video 4: Making the first throw of the two-strand overhand loop by using a specially designed instrument without the help of an assistant. In the prototype in this video, a sliding knot holder has been added to regular forceps. With this instrument, the first overhand loop can be secured even under tension.
