An instrument for applying a tie ( 12 ) to two items ( 10, 110 ), and a method of making same. The instrument is arranged for pulling separated bones or other items together and securing them together by twisting a tie onto them. The instrument can be made of plastic and it need not include any threaded parts. It can have two handles ( 21, 22 ) with a tie gripper ( 24 ) and a tie guide ( 26 ) on respective ones of the handles which can be squeezed together for pulling on a tie to draw separated items together. The handles rotate together, and there can be a crank ( 27 ) for effecting the rotation and thereby twist the tie onto the items.
