Backhaus Towel Clip w/side clip 11cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide a secure, low-profile fixation point for surgical drapes and towels, this Backhaus-style clip is used in operating rooms, procedure suites, and outpatient settings to anchor drapes to skin or to secure gowns and dressings. Its penetrating pointed jaws allow reliable purchase on fabric and superficial tissue for temporary fixation during positioning, prepping, or minor procedures. Common uses include general surgery, dermatology, obstetrics/gynecology, and minor procedures where rapid, stable drape control is required.

Design & Configuration

The instrument features the classic Backhaus geometry with pointed, penetrating jaws that bite through drape material to prevent slippage. The integrated side clip provides an auxiliary retention point that can be used to hold a secondary drape edge or to stabilize the main grip without repositioning the primary jaws. The compact 11 cm length offers good tactile control and accessibility in confined operative fields while remaining sufficiently robust for routine OR handling.
