Abstract

A surgical tool (30) for measuring a heart (H) that includes two handle members (35, 36), and a flexible member (40). The handle members are configured with internal passageways (71, 72) to allow the flexible members to pass through the handle members. The flexible member (40) or the first handle member (35) are configured to anchor the flexible member in a first handle member. The handle members (35, 36) can be configured for the construction of a hinged region (37) that is easily hinged and unhinged. The surgical tool (30) is assembled by extending the flexible member (40) into the proximal end (46) of a first handle member (35), passing in through an internal passageway (71) of a first handle member, out the distal end (44) of a first handle member and into the distal end (45) of a second handle member (36), passing it through the second handle member and through the proximal end (47) of a second handle member. Measurements are taken by extending the flexible member (40) along the surface to be measured and noting the marking (43) on the flexible member that intersects with the proximal end (47) of said second handle member (36).
