Abstract
The retaining device comprises a holder block operatively associated with a clamping mechanism. The retaining device is displaceably and selectively securable along a guide rail by means of the holder block. A surgical instrument is carried by a support rod which is axially movable up and down and positionally securable in the clamping mechanism. The arresting of the holder block at the guide rail and the support rod in the clamping mechanism is effected by a tensioning or tightening member, such as a tensioning nut or spider acting upon both the holder block and the support rod.
