Abstract
A surgical tool holder mounted on a surgical tray that is connected to the surgical console. The tool holder has a pair of opposing, spring-loaded gripper arms. The gripper arms will move apart under force, but rotate to a closed position when no force is applied. In the closed position, the opposing gripper arms and a small, curved-shaped gap between the gripper arms allows the tool holder to accommodate a wide variety diameters of handpieces or tools.
