â–ˆ It’s the Surgeon's Loop Knot (or Double Surgeon's Loop), a variation of the classic surgeon's knot, commonly used in 19th-century medical and surgical techniques. This knot, visually resembling a double adjustable loop (similar to a simplified Gordian knot with parallel loops), is essentially a double slip knot formed with a doubled cord or band. It’s quick to tie and allows precise tension control.â–¼ (“Will answer to arrest the venous circulation during venesection, and enables the operator to graduate the compression instantly and accuratelyâ€), this knot was specifically designed for phlebotomy or venesection (the incision of a vein to draw blood, a common practice in the 19th century to treat conditions like fevers or humoral imbalances).â–¼ Temporary stoppage of venous circulation: Placed around a limb (arm or leg) upstream of the vein to be incised, the knot compresses the vessel to halt blood flow. This makes the vein more visible and distended, aiding the insertion of a scalpel or lancet without excessive immediate bleeding. â–¼ In the 19th century, before modern anesthesia and antiseptics, such knots were vital, as documented in surgical manuals (e.g., by Pierre François Percy or other French authors). They were tied with linen strips or silk thread, and their simplicity suited field practitioners.â–¼ This technique is now obsolete (replaced by inflatable tourniquets or modern equivalents), but the surgeon's knot remains in medicine for suturing or in fishing for strong loops. â–¼VINTAGE ETCHING circa late 19th century.
