Moynihan Towel Fcps 19cm

Clinical Application

Designed for reliable fixation of surgical drapes, towels and sterile linen to the patient or to other drapes during setup and throughout procedures. The pointed, locking tips provide positive purchase on soft materials and skin when temporary anchoring is required, reducing slippage of the operative field. Commonly used across general surgery, orthopedics, obstetrics, and ambulatory procedure settings to maintain a stable sterile barrier.

Design & Configuration

The Moynihan pattern combines elongated shanks with a locking ratchet and pointed, interlocking tips to deliver a secure hold with minimal bulk at the tip. The 19 cm length offers extended reach for larger operative fields and drape placements while keeping the hand away from the immediate wound area. The ratchet lock allows the clamp to remain engaged hands-free, which helps maintain sterile positioning of drapes during instrument changes and patient repositioning.
