Ophthalmic Surg. 1980 Dec;11(12):843-6.

Abstract

A new method of typing an adjustable slide knot is presented. This knot retains the advantages of previously described slide knots and does not show undue slippage. This technique allows additional precision of wound closure in ophthalmic microsurgery.
