The Surgeon’s Knot with Second Tuck is an enhanced version of the standard surgeon’s knot, featuring an extra tuck for added security. It is particularly useful when working with slippery or synthetic ropes, as the additional tuck helps prevent the knot from loosening under tension. This knot is commonly used in medical settings, crafts, and other applications requiring a reliable binding knot.

Advantages

Provides extra security with an additional tuck, making it ideal for slippery ropes and synthetic materials. Quick to tie and reliable under tension.

Disadvantages

Slightly bulkier than the standard surgeon’s knot, which may be a drawback in some applications. Not suitable for heavy loads or critical safety scenarios.
