Clinical Application
Designed to secure sterile drapes and to stabilize tubing within the sterile field, this instrument provides focused retention of both drape material and airway or suction tubing. The integrated tube clip permits direct fixation of an endotracheal tube or other lines to the drape or cloth edge, reducing the risk of displacement during patient positioning, transfer, or intraoperative manipulation. It is useful across general surgery, anesthesia, ENT, plastics, and other specialties where controlled tube management and drape fixation are required.
Design & Configuration
The instrument combines the grasping geometry of a towel forceps with a dedicated clip for tubing. The tapered working tips allow precise capture of drape fabric or narrow tubing without excessive bulk in the operative field. A locking handle maintains consistent tension once engaged, preventing slippage from traction or patient movement. The low-profile clip keeps tubing close to the drape to minimize interference with surgical access and instrument lines.
