Abstract
A surgical device includes a carriage, a rack, a clamp, a lifter plate, and a ratchet. The rack passes through the carriage. The clamp secures the carriage to an object that passes through a passage of the clamp. The lifter plate is coupled to a first end of the rack. The ratchet provides ratcheted movement of the carriage along the rack. The ratcheted movement draws the lifter plate coupled to the first end of the rack toward the carriage.
