ABSTRACT:
A crimper and method for drawing together two bone fragment. The crimper includes a support member having an adjustable fulcrum and a clamping device for holding a staple or an elongated member. A forming die member operable in a recess of the support member engages with a portion of the staple or elongated member which extends in the recess. The forming die member includes a fulcrum point which is movable on the adjustable fulcrum. The forming die member is movably secured to the support member and includes a lever arm on one side of the fulcrum point and a forming die on the other side of the fulcrum point. The lever arm includes a device for moving the forming die member about the fulcrum point. During use, when the forming die member is operated, the forming die applies a pressure on the staple or elongated member to form a crimp in a portion thereof which extends through the recess.
