ABSTRACT:
A device for holding a tendon graft in position as the tendon is scraped and sutured is described. The device includes a pair of tension arms that can be moved in both a horizontal and vertical plane. Horizontal movement of the tension arms can be used to adjust the amount of tension that is applied to a tendon graft. Vertical movement of the tension arms can be used to position the tendon graft in a location which enables medical personnel to more easily suture parallel lengths of a graft together.
