<p>A device (100) for clamping cables or wires or other elongate members used in surgical fastening procedures includes a generally cylindrical housing (110) having a bore (112) for receiving a cable. A saddle member (140) is movably mounted with respect to the housing (110) and includes a saddle jaw (146) that may selectively be moved into engagement with a cable (10) disposed in the bore. A cam lever (160) having a cam surface (164) engages a cam support surface (122) on the housing (110) for actuating the saddle member (140) and thereby selectively clamping the cable (10). The saddle jaw (146) cooperates with a housing jaw (124) on the housing (110) for redirecting the cable (10) into an undulating path when the cam lever (160) is moved to a clamping position. The cam lever (160) is provided with multiple facets (164A and 164B) dimensioned to provide optimum clamping force to different sized cables. The facets (164A and 164B) also provide a positive tactile indication to a user that the cam lever (160) is in one of multiple clamping positions.</p> |
