Nicky's knot--a new slip knot for arthroscopic surgery.
Slip knots are commonly used for arthroscopic knot tying techniques. Nicky's knot is a "ratchet" knot. It is a one-way slip knot. It has excellent initial holding capacity, maintaining tension on soft tissue while additional hitches are being tied.
