2. Surgeon's knotThe surgeon's knot is a simple modification to the reef knot. It adds an extra twist when tying the first throw, forming a double overhand knot, thus adding friction which makes the knot more secure. This knot is commonly used by surgeons in situations where it is important to maintain tension on a suture, giving it its name. Surgeon's knots are used in fly fishing, in tying quilts, and for tying knots with twine.
