Clinical Application
Designed to secure drapes, towels and dressings or to approximate soft tissue edges where penetration of the skin or tissue is undesirable. The non‑perforating jaw style reduces the risk of bleeding and tissue trauma, making it useful in dermatologic, plastic, pediatric, ophthalmic and ENT procedures as well as general operating room and ambulatory surgery workflows where atraumatic fixation is preferred.
Design & Configuration
The atraumatic, non‑perforating jaw surfaces distribute clamping pressure across a broader area to hold fabric or soft tissue without puncture. A locking box‑lock/ratchet mechanism provides secure hold during positioning and procedural setup while allowing controlled release. At 13 cm overall length the geometry offers moderate reach with a compact profile—helpful when working in confined fields or when multiple instruments are in use.
