Abstract
A surgical implant inserter compressor is shown having a plurality of jaws and is adapted to permit at least one or both jaws to move generally parallel with respect to each other or move along an axis wherein the jaws remain in a plane that is generally perpendicular to that axis. The surgical implant inserter compressor is adapted for implanting at least one or a plurality of plates onto a pair of spinous processes and is adapted to distribute the clamping force with which the implants engage the spinous processes. The surgical implant inserter compressor may be adapted to permit one or both jaws to float or pivot to accommodate different anatomical structures, such as spinous processes that are not aligned, are of different sizes or shape and the like. An optional tool guide for guiding a tool to drive a lock to lock the plates together is also shown.
