基本繩結 - 外科醫生結 (1) Surgeon's Knot

基本繩結 - 外科醫生結 Surgeon's Knot (1)


從英文直譯的話,Surgeon's Knot就是外科醫生結。因為這個繩結確實有應用在外科手術的縫合,因而得到此名,不過還有另一個用雙線直結的繩結也叫這個名字,這點有些容易讓人混淆。

這個結由平結變化而來,打的時候只要把平結的兩條線再多繞一圈就行了。特徵是因摩擦阻力提升而不容易解開。使用容易鬆脫的粗繩打結時,這個結就能夠派上用場。即使兩條線纏繞著也能拉緊,很常用於把東西束好固定。和平結一樣,如果顛倒兩條線交叉的上下順序,就會打成讓強度大打折扣的縱結,所以要特別注意。

如果用細的繩子打結,兩條線可以多纏繞幾圈,不過線頭交叉的時候,纏繞的次數和平常一樣就好。不過,這個方法的缺點是會增加結頭旳體積,容易讓兩條繩子之間產生空隙,如果繩子太細(2號以下)就很容易鬆開。

A direct translation from English, the Surgeon's Knot is indeed a surgical knot. It gets its name from its use in surgical sutures. However, another knot, the double-strand straight knot, also shares this name, which can be confusing.

This knot is derived from the square knot; to tie it, simply wrap the two strands of the square knot around the rope an extra time. Its characteristic is that it's difficult to untie due to increased friction. It's useful when using thick, easily loosened ropes. Even with the two strands intertwined, it remains tight and is often used to secure things. Like the square knot, reversing the order of the crossing strands creates a vertical knot, significantly reducing its strength, so caution is advised.

When using a thin rope, the two strands can be wrapped several times, but the number of wraps when crossing the ends should be the same as usual. However, this method has the disadvantage of increasing the knot's volume, making it easier for gaps to form between the two strands, especially with very thin ropes (below size 2), which can easily loosen.
