SYSTEMS, METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR CLAMPING AND RECLAMPING AN ORTHOPEDIC SURGICAL CABLE

摘要

Systems, methods and apparatus relating to orthopedic cable clamps are disclosed, especially a surgical cable clamp for clamping and reclamping an orthopedic surgical cable used in conjunction with an orthopedic implant device, a bone, and/or bone implant or structure. The surgical cable clamp does not damage the orthopedic surgical cable when then the surgical cable is operated or clamped with respect to the surgical cable. While the surgical cable is operated or in use, tension can be maintained on the orthopedic surgical cable. Furthermore, the surgical cable clamp can be reused along with the same surgical cable when the surgical cable clamp is unclamped and reclamped with respect to the orthopedic implant device, a bone, and/or bone implant or structure. Such systems, methods, and apparatuses are particularly useful for surgeons installing an orthopedic surgical cable within a patient's body, and attempting to tension and retension the orthopedic cable with respect to the installation of an orthopedic implant device, a bone, and/or bone implant or structure in the patient's body.
