Backhaus Towel Fcps 14cm

Clinical Application

Backhaus towel forceps are used to anchor sterile drapes and towels to the patient or operating table by engaging tissue or fabric with penetrating tips. In procedural settings they provide stable fixation of drapes during prep and surgery, help maintain a controlled sterile field, and can be used to tent or retract light tissues for temporary exposure. Clinicians should place points away from critical structures and use care to avoid unnecessary skin puncture; removal is achieved by releasing the ratchet and withdrawing the tips along the same trajectory.

Design & Configuration

The instrument’s hinged design with ratchet locking ring handles provides positive, hands‑free retention once engaged. The 14 cm length balances reach and fine control for most adult and pediatric draping tasks, allowing the operator to position drapes without excessive finger interference in the field. Sharp, penetrating pointed tips ensure a reliable purchase through drape material and skin edge when secure fixation is required; the ratchet permits incremental locking force for consistent hold throughout the procedure.
