Abstract
A device for positioning an orthopaedic fixation device includes: a compression attachment mechanism; a fastener guide coupled to the compression attachment mechanism; and a spring member disposed in the fastener guide. The compression attachment mechanism is biased toward a closed position and comprises a gripping portion that is movable by a user for transitioning the compression attachment mechanism from the closed position toward an open position for loading a plate onto the compression attachment mechanism.
