Backhaus Towel Clamp is a specialized surgical instrument used to secure sterile drapes and towels around the operative site, helping maintain a controlled and sterile surgical environment throughout surgical procedures.
Designed for dependable drape fixation and operative field organization, this clamp features sharp, inward-curving tips that penetrate and securely grasp surgical drapes, towels, and other sterile coverings. The pointed tip configuration provides firm fixation and helps prevent displacement during procedures.
In addition to drape fixation, the Backhaus Towel Clamp may also be used to secure surgical tubing and organize accessories within the sterile field according to clinical requirements.
The instrument incorporates a ratchet locking mechanism that allows surgeons and operating room personnel to apply consistent clamping pressure and maintain stable fixation without continuous manual force.
Its ergonomic finger ring handles provide balanced control, ease of use, and reduced hand fatigue during surgical setup and draping procedures.
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the Backhaus Towel Clamp offers exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and dependable long-term performance. The satin or matte low-glare finish minimizes reflections under surgical lighting while facilitating efficient cleaning and maintenance.
Widely used in hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and outpatient facilities, the Backhaus Towel Clamp is an essential component of general and specialty surgical instrument sets.
Fully reusable and autoclavable, this instrument is designed to withstand repeated cleaning and sterilization cycles while maintaining structural integrity, tip alignment, and locking performance.
