Jones Towel Clamp 5cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide secure fixation of surgical drapes and towels to skin or to other drapes, this compact 5 cm clamp is intended for use where a low-profile, strong hold is required. The small footprint and penetrating tips make it useful in confined or delicate operative fields such as pediatric, ophthalmic, and ENT cases, and any procedure where minimal instrument bulk is advantageous. Placement technique emphasizes engaging the drape and superficial dermis (or paired drape layers) to avoid undue tissue compression; remove by releasing the ratchet and withdrawing the tips along their entry path.

Design & Configuration

The instrument’s short overall length provides precise control in tight areas and reduces interference with the operative field. Ring handles with a ratchet box-lock permit reproducible locking force so the clamp stays engaged without continuous manual pressure. The sharp, penetrating tips interlock to provide a positive mechanical hold on drape material and epidermis; this geometry balances secure fixation with minimal instrument profile.
