Sometimes depending on the condition of a patient both physically and mentally it is necessary to use restraints. A slipknot is used when securing a restraint so that the restraint can be removed quickly when needed. A slipknot can slide along the rope or other material that it is on so that it can tighten or loosen easily.

It can also be undone easily just by pulling one of the ends. In addition to being used with restraints it is a knot that is commonly used rock climbing, knitting, and securing loads on trailers as well. If you are a nurse or a nursing student this should be a knot that you learn to tie and learn how to properly untie in case you are ever faced with the task of restraining someone or needing to quickly takes the restraints off of someone.
