Towel Clamps: Safety and Precision in Surgical Draping

Towel clamps are essential surgical instruments used to securely fasten draping materials such as surgical towels or draping films during procedures. They play a critical role in maintaining a sterile environment in the operating room by preventing accidental shifting or loosening of draping materials. Thanks to their robust construction and precise handling, towel clamps contribute to the success and safety of surgical procedures.

Design and Features

• Handle and Mechanism: Towel clamps feature an ergonomic handle that allows for easy and secure handling. The mechanism for opening and closing the clamp is designed to be easily operated, even with gloves on.

• Jaws: The jaws of the clamps are often toothed or serrated to ensure a firm grip on the draping material without damaging it.

• Material: The clamps are made from high-quality surgical stainless steel, which is corrosion-resistant and sterilizable, ensuring long-lasting durability and reliability.

• Variants: Towel clamps are available in various sizes and shapes to meet the demands of different surgical procedures.

Areas of Application

• Securing Surgical Towels: Towel clamps are used to fasten surgical towels to the skin or other draping materials, creating a sterile field.

• Fixing Draping Films: They are used to securely hold draping films during minimally invasive or laparoscopic procedures.

• General Surgical Draping: Towel clamps are used in nearly all surgical disciplines to secure draping materials and maintain a sterile environment.
