Product Overview

The Backhaus Towel Clamp is the most widely used instrument for securing drapes, towels, and suction lines during surgery. Its signature curved, sharp-pointed jaws are designed to pierce the surgical drape and the underlying skin (when necessary) to prevent shifting of the sterile field. Beyond drapes, it is frequently used by surgeons as a traction tool for grasping tough tissues like bone fragments or fascia during reduction and closure.

Key Features

• “Beast-Point” Sharp Tips: Features ultra-sharp, tapering points that meet with precision, allowing for effortless piercing of multiple layers of heavy surgical drapes.

• Aggressive Curved Jaws: The jaws are deeply curved to provide ample clearance between the shanks and the patient, ensuring the clamp sits low-profile and out of the way of the primary incision.

• Heavy-Duty Ratchet Lock: Equipped with a multi-position ratchet mechanism that provides a high-tension lock, ensuring that drapes stay exactly where you pinned them, even under the stress of movement.

• Precision Box Joint: Manufactured with a reinforced box joint to prevent jaw misalignment or “scissoring,” maintaining a perfect tip-to-tip connection over years of heavy use.

• High-Leverage Finger Rings: Ergonomically designed rings provide the leverage needed for easy one-handed operation, allowing for quick adjustments mid-procedure.
