A surgical connector for cable comprises a body having a pair of opposed ends and a first side extending between the ends. Outwardly extending projections adjacent the first side and ends may be provided to facilitate securance of the connector in a desired position. Cable-receiving bores extend from each of the ends inwardly toward each other, typically at an obtuse angle of less than 180°. The bores have inner ends that communicate with a central aperture which is open to at least the side of the body which is opposed to the first side. Alternatively, the central aperture may extend entirely through the body and be open to both the first side and the opposed side. Also, a novel retention technique for cable is disclosed, for more general use, if desired.

A screw-type cable connector which comprises a screw-threaded body and a screw head carried on said body; a cable receiving bore defined in said head, said head comprising a transverse, screw-threaded hole intersecting and extending beyond said bore; a malleable sleeve of greater length than its width occupying said bore and extending across said hole in bridging relation; and a retention screw rotatably mounted in said hole, whereby a cable extending through said sleeve in said bore may be bent with said sleeve by the advancing retention screw into a cable-retaining, clamped condition.
