ABSTRACT:
A system and method for securing a medical cable and a loop about a specified portion of a patient's body are disclosed. The system may include a medical cable, a crimp-locking crimp, a releasable cable securing device, and a cable tensioner. Additionally, a crimper-cutter may be used as part of the system. The releasable cable securing device may include a body having a cable-receiving channel, a wedging chamber and a wedging member that cooperate to allow a cable to be moved in a first direction, but not moved in a second direction. The cable may be released from the releasable cable securing device by depressing a portion of the wedging member. The crimper cutter may include a first head formed to have a crimping channel and a blade member, and a second head formed to force the neck of a crimp into the crimping channel and then on to the blade member.
