Clinical Application
Used to secure surgical drapes and towels to the patient or to other drapes during case setup, the instrument provides a reliable, low-profile fixation point that helps maintain a sterile field. In addition to drape management, the clip can be used for short-term superficial tissue fixation or traction in minor procedures where a sharp, temporary hold is appropriate (for example, dermatologic or minor general surgical procedures and clinic-based interventions).
Design & Configuration
The compact 9 cm length and spring-action configuration allow quick, single-handed application and release, making it practical for rapid draping and intraoperative adjustments. Pointed, penetrating jaws concentrate holding force at the tip for secure engagement of drape material with minimal slippage. The short shaft and low-profile head reduce interference with the operative field and instruments.
