Ok, I am exposing my utter lack of knowledge in surgery…but here it goes:
First, my understanding of these knots is:
· Square-knot: Alternating throws laid flat
· Slip-knot: Two consecutive throws slipped down, followed by a third opposite direction throw laid flat
My questions: In surgery, then do you use a slip-knot vs. square-knot?
I guess I just don’t understand the advantage of one over the other…
