Zusammenfassung:A surgical tensioning device for holding separated tissues in contact with one another. The device comprises a frame having two opposing first and second sides and a lower surface and an upper surface, and a band for extending through and around said separated tissues to be held together in conjunction with said frame. The band has two ends releasably attached to the sides of the frame. When the ends are secured to the sides of the frame, the band holds separated tissues together and establishes a path of tension along its length that extends linearly between the two ends of the band.
