    This document describes how to tie a one-handed square surgical knot using only the right hand while the left hand supports the needle end of the suture. The process involves laying the suture across the right palm and using the fingers to loop and pinch the suture to form the first half of the square knot. The same fingers are then used to loop the suture again and pull it through to form the second half of the square knot, completing the secure one-handed surgical knot. Thirteen figures accompany the text to illustrate each step of the knot tying process.
