Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a surgical tensioning instrument configured to apply a tension to a strap portion of a tensioning member about a target bone or parts thereof. The tensioning member further includes a locking portion configured to cooperate with the strap portion so as to maintain the tension in the tensioning member. The tensioning instrument comprises a clamping mechanism configured to secure the locking portion to the instrument. The clamping mechanism comprises opposed clamping jaws, with at least one of the clamping jaws being configured to be movable between a closed position, in which the locking portion is secured to the instrument, and an open position, in which the locking portion is released from the instrument. The clamping mechanism is specifically operable to move the at least one of the clamping jaws from the closed position to the open position upon its operation.

Abstract: Disclosed is a surgical instrument for tightening a bone fixation member around bone. The instrument comprises a body with a gripping portion extending from the body and configured to be grasped by a hand, a clamp for clamping a bone fixation member and a clamp carrier connected to and movably guided relative to the body. The clamp is connected to and movably guided relative to the clamp carrier. The instrument further comprises an actuator connected to and movably guided relative to the body, and configured to be operated by a hand, wherein the actuator is configured to move the clamp carrier via the clamp.
