Abstract: A surgical knotting device comprising a length of suture thread; a first portion located and held in place on the length of suture thread; a needle on the length of suture thread at a position spaced from where the first portion is located; a second portion attached to the first portion and having a groove therein adapted to receive the length of suture thread at a point between where the first portion is located and the needle, and to secure the length of suture thread in place; and an auxiliary thread on the length of suture thread at an end opposite the needle.

Abstract: The Auto-Knot Device will be used to make suture knots. Can be made of material not harmful to the human body. FIG. 2 shows the device with reference numbered arrows pointing to the components of the device. FIG. 7 shows the direction of movement of the suture thread (6) to make the knot and FIG. 8 shows the steps of making the knot. One surgeon using two needle holders will be capable of making a knot. Using the auxiliary thread (4) to adjust the device by rotating it clockwise and counter clockwise to the proper position to insert the suture thread (6) into the groove (1). As soon as the suture thread (6) is in the groove (1), he will complete the knot by pulling the suture thread (6) up and toward the end of the groove, while holding the auxiliary thread (4) in the opposite direction.
