Where would you find the loop of the suture material?

Explanation:
When you create a ligature, the loop of suture material is the part that is formed by passing through tissue to encircle the target structure. That loop sits within the tissue because its job is to encircle and compress the vessel or pedicle when the knot is tightened. If the loop were just on the skin surface, or detached from the suture material, it wouldn’t grip the tissue or secure the ligature. So the loop is found within the tissue, precisely where it can be tightened around what you’ve encircled.
