Moynihan Towel Clamp 18cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide reliable fixation of surgical drapes and towels to the patient or to other draping materials. The penetrating pointed tips permit secure purchase through fabric and superficial tissue, making this clamp useful for anchoring drapes, creating tenting for access, and providing temporary traction of fascial edges or soft tissue during procedures. Commonly used in general surgery, gynecology, orthopedics and ambulatory procedure settings where dependable drape management and lightweight tissue control are required.

Design & Configuration

The instrument features a hinged box-lock with a ratchet locking mechanism that maintains consistent tension once engaged, freeing staff hands for other tasks. The penetrating pointed tips are configured to interlock for positive grip and minimal slippage of drape material. At 18 cm overall length the clamp balances reach and control—long enough to secure drapes across working fields while short enough for fine manual placement and removal.
