STEP 5
Tie off the Modified
Fisherman’s Knot using
a single throw of the
Square Knot.
STEP 4
Holding the loop
with the Endo Grasp
™
instrument, use this as
a tail to terminate the
run with a Modified
Fisherman’s Knot
(see p. 12).
STEP 3
At the end of the running
stitch, make the last pass
through the tissue close
to the penultimate pass.
The loop that this last pass
forms can be now held
up with an Endo Grasp
™
instrument to make a tail
for tying off the run.
STEP 2
Anchor the starting
point by tying a Square
Knot (see p. 11). Run the
desired length of stitches.
STEP 1
Pass the sutured needle
through the tissue. Pull
enough suture material
through the tissue to
ensure there is sufficient
material to make the run
of stitches, and to tie off the
knot at the end of the run.
