Hoff (Hofer) Non-perf. Towel Clamp 10cm

Clinical Application

This non‑perforating Hoff (Hofer) towel clamp is intended to secure surgical drapes and towels to surrounding fabric or soft tissue without puncturing the skin. The atraumatic jaw pads provide firm retention while minimizing tissue trauma, making the clamp useful in procedures where skin integrity is a concern (for example, plastic and reconstructive cases, pediatrics, or any operative field requiring gentle tissue handling). It can also be used for short‑term approximation or retraction of soft tissue where a penetrating clamp would be inappropriate.

Design & Configuration

The instrument combines ring handles with a ratchet locking mechanism to deliver secure, adjustable clamping pressure. The Hoff (Hofer) non‑perforating jaw geometry creates broad contact surfaces that distribute compressive force and reduce slippage without penetrating tissue. At 10 cm overall length the clamp provides moderate reach suitable for standard tray layouts and routine operative fields, balancing control and accessibility in confined spaces.
