Ross

I believe the answer is:

ligature

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">thread used by surgeons</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for ligature that I've seen before include "Something used to tie" , "Tie (to restrict flow of blood)" , "Binding used for strangulation" , "Tie; bandage" , "Bond" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
