ABSTRACT:
This is an instrument for applying tension to a metal surgical cable used in certain surgical procedures. The cable tensioner has a ratchet feature which has the ability to steadily increase the tension in the cable. Also included is a scale incorporated into the cable tensioner so that the tension in the cable is directly measured and indicated at all times. Finally, the cable tensioner is ergonomically designed into an elongated cylindrical shape to easily fit in the cupped hand of a surgeon.
