This disclosure describes embodiments of bio-medically compatible gripping devices capable of radial collapse or compression in accordance with the shrinkage of a nylon or other polymeric material cored surgical cable (103) undergoing tension, while maintaining a firm grip throughout the process of shrinkage of the cable. The present embodiments can provide a gripping device capable of maintaining a grip on an outer surface of a slippery delicate cable, the grip being approximately (e.g., substantially) uniform along both the length and circumference of the gripped portion of the cable. The present embodiments can also provide a gripping device capable of maintaining a grip on, yet not damage, a delicate cable under high tension for a period of time adequate for the healing process to occur (e.g., the healing of a bone fracture). |
