This is based on considering that the active hand has two clasps, an inferior one formed by the thumb and the ring finger, which fixes the distal end of the ligature, and another superior clasp formed by the index and middle finger, whose rotating mobility makes it possible to wrap the proximal tips of the ligature around them one or more times and then to grasp the distal end and pull it through the proximal loops.
