Product Overview
Unlike the traditional Backhaus clamp, the Ball and Socket (or “Non-Perforating”) Towel Clamp features a unique rounded tip design. One jaw typically terminates in a small “ball,” while the opposing jaw features a “socket” or cup. This allows the instrument to clamp surgical drapes together with immense pressure without piercing the fabric or the patient’s skin. It is the premier choice for procedures using disposable paper drapes or when clamping near sensitive anatomical structures where accidental skin puncture must be avoided.
Key Features
-
“Beast-Lock” Non-Perforating Tips: The ball-and-socket geometry creates a high-friction “pinch” that holds multiple layers of drapes securely in place without tearing the material or compromising the sterile barrier.
-
Tissue-Safe Design: Because the tips are rounded and blunt, this clamp can be used on the patient’s periphery without the risk of causing puncture wounds or unnecessary pain.
-
Reinforced Box Joint: Manufactured with a heavy-duty box joint to maintain perfect jaw alignment, ensuring the ball always seats centrally in the socket even under high torque.
-
Precision Ratchet Mechanism: Features a multi-step, heavy-duty ratchet lock that provides a definitive, self-retaining hold that won’t slip during the procedure.
-
Ergonomic Finger Rings: Balanced for easy, one-handed operation, allowing the surgical assistant to secure drapes or organize tubing quickly and efficiently.
