1. A method for a surgical bending instrument for bending surgical implants, comprising:
configuring a distal force applicator to:
retain and distract a surgical implant;
configure a driver to:
move distally when a proximal handle is twisted clockwise, such that a surgical staple can be clasped between the driver and the first grip and the second grip; and
move proximally when the proximal handle is twisted counterclockwise, such that the driver retracts from the surgical staple;
configuring a body to support the distal force applicator; and
forming a proximal handle for operating the distal force applicator.
