Sklar Ball and Socket Towel Clamp, 5 Inch
A 5 inch towel clamp with a ball and socket locking joint, used to secure surgical drapes firmly in place around the operative field. It is supplied for repeated sterilization and reuse in hospital and clinic settings.
The Sklar Ball and Socket Towel Clamp is a 5 inch towel clamp built with a ball and socket style locking joint rather than a standard ratchet, giving the clamp a smooth, rounded closure that some surgical teams prefer for its secure, non slip hold on drape fabric. Like other towel clamps, it is used to fix surgical drapes to the patient and to one another around the operative field, keeping the sterile barrier intact and preventing drapes from shifting as the surgical team moves and works throughout the case.
The ball and socket mechanism provides a positive, tactile lock that the operator can feel engage, which can be reassuring during fast paced draping at the start of a procedure. This clamp is used across the same broad range of surgical specialties as other towel clamps, from general surgery to orthopedics and beyond, since draping is a universal step in every sterile procedure.
It is a simple, durable, reusable instrument that is easy to clean and sterilize between cases.
