ABSTRACT:
A surgical pin driver having a pair of elongated clamping jaws terminating in a clamping handle is provided with a bearing member pivotally movable relative to the clamping jaws for engagement therewith to move the clamping jaws from an open position to a closed position and vice versa. A bridging member surrounds the clamping jaws and is pivotally attached to the bearing member. An actuating lever having an actuating handle is bifurcated at the end remote from the actuating handle so as to provide a gap which encloses the clamping jaws. The bearing member is formed as an extension of the actuating lever so that the clamping handle and the actuating handle are capable of being gripped in one hand for driving a pin clamped between the clamping jaws into bone.
