In today's video I'm going to take you through a simple DIY setup for knot tying and get you masterful with tying knots.

If there is one thing you should be doing every day as a medical student interested in surgery or a surgical resident it's tying knots.

If there is a second thing it's sewing on bananas.

Every day!

Here are the things you can use to build a perfect knot tying kit:

1 12inch 2x4
4 3/4 inch screw in hooks
Rubber bands
String or suture

For a deep tying kit I like:

Metal paint can
Magnetic hook

With this simple setup you can be a knot tying machine! I can almost guarantee it! You just have to practice, make it a part of your daily routine.

I remember before laparoscopic cases as a resident I would go and tie laparoscopic knots on the trainer before the case. This would warm up both my hands and my mind for what was to come. I recommend you warm up every morning so that it's fluid.
