An apparatus and method for tightening and crimping a surgical wire (202) used for orthopedic purposes. The apparatus of this invention includes a pair of operating handles (12, 14) which are biased apart (44, 46) and which operate a pair of opposed jaws (18, 20) to which they are connected. Disposed on opposite sides of the operating handles (12, 14) are a pair of capstans (94 95). The jaws are adapted to hold a crimping member (200) therein without deforming it while opposite ends of a length of wire (202) are passed through the crimp member (200) in opposite directions. Each end of the wire (202) is wrapped around an associated capstan (94, 95). A ratchet handle (16) simultaneously rotates both capstans (94, 95) to wrap the opposite ends of the wire (202). Once the desired traction force has been achieved, the jaws (12, 14) are further activated to crimp the crimp member (200). A ring shaped crimp member (200) is also disclosed.

L'invention se rapporte à un procédé et un appareil de serrage et de sertissage d'un fil chirurgical (202) utilisé à des fins orthopédiques. L'appareil de cette invention comprend une paire de poignées d'actionnement (12, 14) qui s'écartent l'une de l'autre (44, 46) et qui actionnent une paire de mâchoires opposées (18, 20) auxquelles elles sont raccordées. Sur les côtés opposés des poignées d'actionnement (12, 14) se trouve une paire d'axes (94, 95). Les mâchoires sont conçues pour retenir un élément de sertissage (200) sans le déformer alors que les extrémités opposées d'une longueur du fil (202) traversent l'élément de sertissage (200) dans des sens opposés. Chaque extrémité du fil (202) est enroulée autour d'un axe associé (94, 95). Une poignée à cliquet (16) fait tourner simultanément les deux axes (94, 95) pour enrouler les extrémités opposées du fil (202). Après avoir obtenu la force de traction désirée, on actionne ensuite les mâchoires (12, 14) afin de sertir l'élément de sertissage (200). L'invention se rapporte également à un élément de sertissage en forme d'anneau (200).
