Clinical Application
Designed to secure surgical drapes, towels and other sterile linens to maintain and protect the sterile field. The short 10 cm profile provides precise control when positioning drapes around the operative site, during sterile tray setup, and in minor procedures where a non-penetrating hold is preferred. Also useful for temporary soft-tissue retraction or holding sponges without the tissue trauma associated with penetrating towel clamps.
Design & Configuration
The compact length and spring-action design deliver nimble handling and quick engagement in confined workspaces. Broad, atraumatic jaws distribute contact pressure over a larger area than penetrating clamps, reducing the risk of tissue injury or tear-through of drapes. The non-locking spring mechanism permits rapid application and release, which is helpful during repeated adjustments to drape position or during procedures requiring frequent access to the operative field.
