A disc for holding a medical suture on a patient's skin is modified by providing first and second orthogonal grooves in a domed upper surface. Through openings in one of the grooves permits the suture to be tied within that groove so that the suture has a knot contained within the groove and thus below the domed upper surface. The second groove, preferably orthogonal to the first groove, permits a scalpel to be readily inserted along the second groove to traverse the first groove and cut the suture when the suture is to be removed.
