Actually, one can form, e.g., a SquaREef Knot with stoppers in the ends

only SO loose). Incorporating Overhand stoppers into some surgical
knots might be an answer (OH stoppers can sometimes be worked tight
snug against something--not so with e.g. a Fig.8 stopper).

Would it not make much more sense to simply use a Surgeon knot?
You knw, like surgeons actually use.
