Sklar Roeder Towel Clamp with Ball Stops, 5-1/4 Inch
A 5-1/4 inch towel clamp from Sklar fitted with ball stops, used to secure surgical drapes and towels firmly in place around the operative field.
The Sklar Roeder Towel Clamp with Ball Stops is used to secure surgical drapes and towels around the operative field, keeping them firmly in place throughout a procedure so the sterile boundary of the surgical site is maintained. The ball stops fitted to the tips of this clamp limit how far the points can penetrate through the fabric and underlying tissue, adding a measure of safety compared with a sharper, unprotected towel clip while still holding drapes securely under tension.
Measuring 5-1/4 inches, the clamp is a practical size for hand held application at the edge of the sterile field during draping. Towel clamps of this kind are used in virtually every surgical procedure as part of routine draping and preparation, making them one of the most frequently used, high turnover items in an operating theatre's instrument inventory.
Hospitals and surgical centres typically stock large numbers of towel clamps given how many are needed to secure drapes for even a single procedure.
