Backhaus Towel Fcps 11cm

Clinical Application

Backhaus towel forceps are used to anchor drapes, towels and lightweight dressings to skin or bedding during operative and procedural care. The pointed-tip design provides reliable purchase through drape material and into soft tissue or towels, helping maintain a stable sterile field during general surgery, obstetrics/gynecology, minor procedures and wound care.

Design & Configuration

The compact 11 cm length offers low profile control at the field, allowing precise placement in confined operative sites. The tapered jaws focus clamping force at the tip for secure hold with minimal slippage. The pointed, interlocking tip geometry typical of the Backhaus pattern creates a firm grip on drape fabric and underlying material; clinicians should place clamps intentionally to avoid unintended skin puncture.
