An apparatus for use in the preparation of a knot in at least one length of material comprises a base portion 1 and a twister11. The base portion 1 includes a loop former configured in use to form a loop in the length of material when the length of material is engaged with the loop former, and at least one restraining device 9 located on the base portion 1. The restraining device 9 is configured to restrain the loop formed on the loop former. The loop former and/or the at least one restraining device 9 are configured to allow at least one portion of the loop formed on the loop former to substantially overlap with another portion of the loop. The twister 11 is configured to intercept and twist the overlapped portions of the loop formed in the loop former. |
