Device for clamping body parts

摘要

A base member adapted to be secured to an operating table is provided with an upright arm portion. A movable member slidably related to the base member also is provided with an upright arm portion. The base member houses a locking arrangement for securing the movable member in a fixed position with respect to the base member when the upright arms are in position to produce the desired clamping pressure on a body part located between the arms. The locking arrangement also is operative to displace the movable member in incremental steps prior to locking in order to achieve the desired clamping pressure.
