Mayo Safety Pin 15cm

Clinical Application

Designed for general operative and minor-procedure use, this safety-pin style instrument provides a fast, reliable way to secure drapes, dressings, tubing, or loose sutures during procedures. Its configuration is useful in settings that require temporary approximation of soft tissue edges (for example, holding dressings or provisional alignment during closure), anchoring lines or drains to surgical drapes, and organizing suture tails or instrument ties to reduce entanglement on the sterile field. Common users include hospital operating rooms, ambulatory surgery centers, and procedure clinics.

Design & Configuration

The safety-pin clasp design provides a self-contained fastening mechanism that reduces the risk of accidental release compared with improvised pins or clips. A 15 cm overall length offers improved reach and handling while maintaining control in tight fields. The pointed tip permits reliable penetration of drapes or dressings with minimal force, and the clasped position secures materials without bulky external components that can snag or displace other instruments.
