Clinical Application
This non‑perforating Hoff (Hofer) towel clamp is intended to secure surgical drapes, towels, and other fabric barriers to the patient or to adjacent drapes without puncturing the skin or tissue. It is useful in general, ambulatory, and dermatologic procedures where an atraumatic hold is preferred—for example when anchoring drapes at sensitive sites, holding adhesive drapes, or providing temporary retraction of soft tissue and dressings near the operative field.
Design & Configuration
The clamp uses opposing, non‑puncturing jaw surfaces that provide a secure frictional grip on drapes and skin without penetrating tissue. At 14.5 cm overall length, the geometry balances reach and control, allowing precise placement close to the incision while maintaining good tactile feedback. The Hoff (Hofer) profile is designed for rapid one‑hand application and removal, enabling efficient drape management in fast‑paced operative and procedural settings.
