Tensioning and crimping tool for orthopedic cable tensioning

A tensioning and crimping tool for introducing tension on a cable and crimping a crimp onto the cable, the tensioning and crimping tool comprising:

• a housing unit,
• a crimping section comprising:
• a housing,
• a trigger-handle mounted to the housing,
• a crimping unit, including an inner crimping tube and an outer crimping tube, where the inner crimping tube is mounted inside the housing having a distal end configured to receive the cable and an outer crimping tube mounted around the inner crimping tube and configured to move in an axial direction relative to the inner crimping tube to crimp a crimp onto the cable when actuated by the trigger-handle,
• a tensioning section comprising:
• the housing,
• a collet opener end at a proximal end of the inner crimping tube, and
• a tensioning unit comprising:
• a collet axially positioned in a cone sheath,
• a tensioning rod having a proximal end connected to an end stop nut and a distal end connected to the cone sheath,
• a tensioning nut rotatable on the tensioning rod,
• an inner spring configured to actuate the collet in a first direction, and
• an outer spring configured to actuate the tensioning rod in a second direction, the second direction being opposite to the first direction.
