Sklar Bernhard Towel Forceps, Sharp Prong Tips
A 4-3/4 inch forceps with sharp prong tips, finger rings and a ratchet, used to clamp and secure surgical drapes and towels in place.
The Sklar Bernhard Towel Forceps is a clamping instrument used to hold sterile drapes and towels securely in position around the surgical field, preventing the barrier from shifting during the procedure. Measuring 4-3/4 inches, it features sharp prong tips that penetrate through the layers of drape material to grip firmly, finger rings for a secure and comfortable hold when applying the clamp, and a ratchet mechanism that locks the forceps closed once the desired tension is set.
This listing covers one of five variants offered in the Bernhard towel forceps family, giving surgical teams options in tip style or sizing depending on the draping setup used. Towel forceps of this kind are a basic, high use item in virtually every surgical specialty, applied at the start of a case as the sterile field is established and often left in place for the duration of the procedure.
As with other Sklar instruments, it is manufactured for repeated clinical use with standard hospital sterilization between cases, and is typically stocked in higher quantities given the routine, frequent nature of its use.
