Roeder Towel Clamp 15cm

Clinical Application

Designed to secure surgical drapes and towels to the patient’s skin without sharp puncture edges, this clamp provides reliable fixation of drapes, towels, and light soft tissue during operative setup and minor procedures. Commonly used in general surgery, obstetrics/gynecology, orthopedics, and ambulatory settings, it is intended for temporary fixation rather than for sustained traction on deep or vascular tissue.

Design & Configuration

The curved shank geometry permits placement of the clamp at an angle that clears the operative field while maintaining purchase on drape material and superficial tissue. Atraumatic ball‑tipped jaws reduce the risk of concentrated tissue penetration compared with pointed towel clamps, distributing force over a small rounded surface to minimize skin tearing during drape fixation. The ratcheted ring handles provide positive locking to maintain tension once engaged, allowing hands‑free drape stability.
