Excerpt from Library of Universal Knowledge, Vol. 9 of 15: A Reprint of the Last (1880) Edinburgh and London Edition of Chambers's Encyclopaedia; With Copious Additions by American Editors
Ligature, the term applied, in surgery, to the thread tied round a blood-vessel to -stop bleeding. The ligatures most commonly used consist of strong hempen or silk threads; but catgut, horsehair, etc have been employed by some surgeons. A ligature should be tied round an artery with sufficient tightness to cut through its middle and internal walls. Although the operation of tying arteries was clearly known to Rufus of Ephesus, who flourished in the time of Trajan, it subsequently fell into desuetude, till it was rediscovered by Ambrose Paré, in the 16th century.
