ABSTRACT:
A gripping instrument particularly for surgical application. A sheathed cable is associated with separate thumb and finger holds. The finger hold has a first fixed rack meshing with a pinion on a shaft associated with the thumb hold to which a cable core end is fixed. A second rack fixedly engages the cable sheath. In operation the finger hold is drawn towards the thumb hold, shifting the racks axially oppositely. In so doing the sheath is extended over a split end of the cable core drawing the free ends together in tong-like fashion without axially shifting the gripping ends.
