ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a surgical clamp which enables a surgical team to use a clamp and plate simultaneously. The surgical clamp of the present invention includes a scissors-like structure having a pair of shafts which are hingedly and pivotally secured to each other via a pivot point. Located at one end of each shaft is a handle for enabling the user to grasp and manipulate the device, while located at the second end of each shaft is a bone engaging member. The pivotal point is located in proximity to the handles so as to provide for an adequate amount of clearance to exist between the bone engaging means and the surgical team. For providing the adequate amount of clearance, the shafts extending between the pivotal point and the bone engaging member includes an arc shape. This unique shape widens the gap or space between the two shafts. The clamp device further includes a locking member for locking this device in a fixed and secured position.
