Abstract

See full text

A clamp for attaching surgical operating aids has at least two clamp members arranged so as to be movable relative to one another and a securing element for fixing the clamp members in at least one locked position. The clamp members have a connecting mechanism that allow the clamp members to be attached to a separate setting element actuatable for transmitting a setting force onto the clamp. A setting element, such as tongs, releasably connects to the clamp, and has a connecting mechanism connectible to the connecting mechanism of the clamp and has a spacing and/or aligning mechanism. A clamp and a setting element that is releasably joined to the clamp provide an arrangement for attachment of surgical operating aids to a bone during a surgical intervention, such as during a joint replacement surgery.
