Clinical Application
This non-perforating towel clamp is designed primarily for secure fixation of surgical drapes and towels to maintain a sterile field. The atraumatic jaw surface permits firm holding of drapes, adhesive-backed drape materials and soft dressings without puncturing or creating perforation points. It is used across general surgery, ambulatory procedures, and settings where minimizing damage to synthetic or delicate drape materials and patient skin is important.
Design & Configuration
The Peers Bertram configuration features a non-perforating jaw geometry that provides secure bite while avoiding tissue or drape penetration. The instrument’s geometry delivers focused clamping force at the jaw surfaces so drapes remain tensioned and stable; a positive locking action maintains fixation throughout preparation and procedure. The compact 14.5 cm length offers reach for routine draping while remaining manageable for quick placement and removal.
