Abstract
A surgical tool includes a pair of pivotally coupled operating handles and working distal ends connected thereto configured to engage bone fixation elements. A toothed ratchet member is arranged across the handles and includes a first and second tooth rack. The first tooth rack includes a plurality of teeth angled in a first direction and the second tooth rack includes a plurality of teeth angled in a second direction. The ratchet member is rotatable with respect to the handles to selectively present the first or second tooth rack to a pawl disposed on one of the handles. The handles are operable for closing or spreading movement via selective engagement of the pawl with the first or second tooth rack, which correspondingly closes or spreads the working distal ends. A method for operating the tool is also disclosed.
