1. Bone clamp comprising:
a main body comprising at one end a first jaw, the main body and the first jaw forming a single rigid body;
a second jaw rotationally connected to the main body and being opposite of the first jaw, the second jaw comprising an open jaw position and closed jaw position so that both first and second jaws define a grip portion; and
an actuator configured for opening and closing the second jaw, the actuator being rotationally connected to the main body and comprising an open actuator position and a closed actuator position,
wherein the actuator and the second jaw are linked by a kinematic chain so that a passage of the actuator from one actuator position to another actuator position causes the second jaw to pass from one jaw position to another jaw position respectively,
wherein a rotational movement of the actuator is contained in a first plane and a rotational movement of the second jaw is contained in a second plane wherein an orientation of the first plane and an orientation of the second plane are different,
wherein the actuator is rotationally connected to the main body at a first joint and the second jaw is rotationally connected to the main body at a second joint separated along the main body from the first joint, and
wherein the actuation of the actuator is linked with the rotational movement of the second jaw relative to the main body so that a gripper of the clamp can be regulated.
