We created a novel ring-type knot pusher with a closed triangle tip, wherein the thread is never detached from the knot pusher head during the ligation process. This knot pusher has a small head and is suitable for complex fields, such as the subvalvular apparatus of the mitral valve, allowing the surgeons to observe the knot itself. Considering that the thread passes through the inner corner of the triangle during the tying-down process without swinging inside the triangle, this knot pusher allows for a stable and secure ligation.
