Zusammenfassung:An apparatus for attaching a surgical accessory to a mounting rail comprises a clamp body, a locking plate component, and a clamp release mechanism. The clamp body includes at least one clamp jaw component and one or more mounting mechanisms for attaching a mount blade of a surgical accessory to the clamp body. The locking plate component is coupled to the clamp body in a manner that a rail channel is formed between the clamp jaw component and the locking plate component. The clamp release mechanism includes an actuator. The clamp release mechanism moves to allow a mounting rail to enter or exit the rail channel in response to (a) a force applied to the locking plate component or (b) activation of the actuator.
