Abstract: A surgical cable crimp device including a cable with a fixed and a free end and a crimp member for securing the cable. The crimp member has a first leg having a blind hole for receiving the fixed end of the cable, and a second leg with a through bore extending through the second leg for receiving the free end of the cable, the first and second legs connected in the front by a front bridging portion and in the back by a rear bridging portion. The rear bridging portion is longer than the front bridging portion so that the crimp member has a wedge-shape and the second leg is crimpable so that the cable is crimped to the crimp member after the free end is inserted in the through bore.
