Claim 12:
13. A clamp for a medical procedure, the clamp comprising:
a first rigid clamp member having a first end and a second end;
a second rigid clamp member having a first end and a second end;
a pin, the pin coupling the first ends of the first and second rigid clamp members such that the first rigid clamp member is pivotable relative to the second rigid clamp member and such that the first end of the first rigid clamp member is spaced apart from the first end of the second rigid clamp member with a variable gap;
a metal biasing member, the metal biasing member coupling the second ends of the first and second rigid clamp members, wherein the metal biasing member applies a clamping force;
a shaft, the shaft having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the distal end of the shaft and the metal biasing member are fixedly coupled with at least one of the first rigid clamp member or the second rigid clamp member for a duration of the medical procedure; and
an actuator, the actuator being operatively coupled with the metal biasing member such that the actuator selectively tensions the metal biasing member to provide the clamping force.
