Clamp for wire closure of sternum

FL Korompai, RH Hayward and GA Guinn

A modification of the Kocher clamp used for wire closure of the sternum is described. With the clamp applied securely to the individual strands, the wire can be readily twisted; the shorter length of the clamp allows the surgeon a much firmer grip on the wire and saves considerable time during closure.
