Sutures require knots so as to ensure optimal tissue closure strength. Loosening of surgical knots during or after tying can lead to an ineffective suture and compromise the final result. Loosening is affected mainly by the type of suture material and nature of surgical field. In palatal surgery, tying secure knots is a major consideration and may present a technical challenge.
