Bernhard Towel Fcps 16cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide secure fixation of surgical drapes and towels to patient skin or linen during case setup. The instrument's pointed tips and locking mechanism allow the operator to maintain reliable purchase on drape material and soft tissue during preparation and throughout procedures. Commonly used in general surgery, ambulatory procedures and any setting where stable draping is required (operating rooms, procedure suites, and clinic-based minor procedures).

Design & Configuration

The compact 16 cm length balances reach and control for single‑handed placement and removal. A ratcheting lock secures the instrument in the closed position to maintain consistent tension on drapes without continuous manual pressure. The pointed tip geometry provides positive penetration through drape material for firm anchoring; the overall profile supports easy handling in tight surgical fields while minimizing instrument bulk on the sterile field.
