Abstract
A clamping device (2) for fixing a medical device (1) on a support (3) comprises a body (20) having a first jaw (200), an adjustment element (21) connected to a second jaw (210) and being adjustable with respect to the body (20) along a longitudinal axis (L) to establish a clamp connection with a support (3) in between the first jaw (200) and the second jaw (210), and a locking mechanism (22) for locking the adjustment element (21) with respect to the body (20) in a longitudinal position. Herein, the locking mechanism (22) comprises a coupling element (220) coupled to the adjustment element (21) and a locking element (224) coupled to the coupling element (220), wherein the adjustment element (21) is rotatable about the longitudinal axis (L) to thereby move the coupling element (220) and, by moving the coupling element (220), shift the locking element (224) with respect to the adjustment element (21) in order to engage the locking element (224) with the adjustment element (21) for locking the adjustment element (21) in its current longitudinal position or to disengage the locking element (224) from the adjustment element (21) in order to unlock the adjustment element (21) to allow a…
