Sklar Backhaus-Roeder Towel Clamp
A ratcheted towel clamp used to hold surgical drapes securely in place around the operative field, available in two sizes. It is supplied for repeated sterilization and reuse in hospital and clinic settings.
The Sklar Backhaus-Roeder Towel Clamp is a ratcheted clamping instrument used to secure surgical drapes and towels around the operative field, keeping the sterile barrier in place throughout a procedure. Its pointed tips pass through the layers of drape fabric and lock together under spring tension, holding the drapes firmly without slipping as the surgical team moves around the patient.
This listing includes two sizes, 5-1/4 inches and 6 inches, giving the operating room team a choice depending on the thickness of drape material being used and personal preference for handle length. Towel clamps of this kind are used in essentially every surgical specialty, since draping is a universal step in preparing a sterile field, and they are typically supplied in multiples per case so that drapes can be secured at several points around the patient.
Because the tips pierce fabric rather than tissue in normal use, they are considered a general instrument rather than a specialty one, and are reprocessed and reused across the full range of surgical procedures performed in a hospital.
