The purpose of the device is the detachable clamping of fastening elements (12, 13) within a surgical fixing or repositioning device. It comprises:A)a cylindrical or prismatic rod (1) that comprises a longitudinal axis (2), a firstend (14), a second end (15) as well as a terminal first rod segment (19)adjoining the first end (14) and a terminal second rod segment (20) adjoiningthe second end (15)B)a first pair (4) of clamping jaws that can be displaced on the first rod segment. (19) coaxially with the longitudinal axis (2)C)a second pair (5) of clamping jaws that can be displaced on the second rod segment (20) coaxially with the longitudinal axis (2) whereinD)the two pairs (4, 5) have an inner clamping jaw (6, 7) each and an outer clamping jaw (8, 9) directed towards the ends (14, 15) and two clamping jaws (6, 7, 8, 9) each of each pair (4, 5) of clamping jaws have clamping surfaces (29, 30, 31, 32) directed against one anotherE)a clamping means (10, 11) for the detachable firm clamping of fasteningmeans (12, 13) of a surgical fixing or repositioning device between twoclamping surfaces (29, 30, 31, 32) each directed against one another andF)an elastic means (40) that is arranged between each inner and outer clamping jaw (6, 7, 8, 9) that joins the inner and outer clamping jaw (6,, 7, 8, 9).
