Abstract
A surgical clamp assembly for clamping tissue and supporting a navigation tracker. The assembly includes a clamp body. Clamp arms are coupled to the clamp body to grip tissue. At least one of the clamp arms includes a distal portion having a clamp surface to grip tissue and a proximal portion that is pivotable relative to the clamp body about a first pivot. A linear displacement mechanism and a carrier are coupled to the clamp body. The carrier is moveable relative to the clamp body along a carrier axis in response to movement of the linear displacement mechanism. The carrier is coupled directly to the proximal portion of the clamp arm. The clamp arm is also pivotable relative to the carrier about a second pivot in response to movement of the carrier.
