... we are trying to make a self-cinching knot (suture strand #1)
that you can pass a strand of suture (suture strand #2) through
that will prevent Suture strand #2 from moving in one direction.
Does a knot that has this function exist?
It will help to have some graphic of the problem
(says the guy always describing knots verbally!).
"moving in one direction" :: but able to move in the
opposite direction? One can think of knots that might
see a strand pass through them and then the knot
gets drawn tight to lock that strand in place --it
the moves not at all, though (any direction).
