Clinical Application
Designed for use in the operating room and procedural suites where secure fixation of surgical drapes and towels is required. The instrument provides a reliable grip for draping, isolating the sterile field, and for short-term, light soft-tissue manipulation or retraction when an atraumatic contact surface is preferred. Its 18 cm length balances reach with precise control during case setup and intraoperative adjustments.
Design & Configuration
Ring handles offer familiar, ergonomic control for surgeons and scrub staff and allow deliberate, stable manipulation during drape placement and securing. The Doyen-style, atraumatic jaw geometry distributes clamping pressure across a broader contact area to reduce the risk of tearing drapes or causing focal pressure on tissue when used for temporary handling. The single-piece construction simplifies handling and cleaning while providing tactile feedback during application.
