Product Overview

The Peers Towel Clamp (often referred to as the Peers-Bertram) is a distinctive instrument characterized by its broad, flat, and serrated jaws. Unlike the traditional Backhaus clamp which uses sharp points to pierce tissue and fabric, the Peers design uses a “crushing-grip” mechanism. This makes it the primary choice for securing modern disposable drapes, suction tubing, and cautery cables, as it eliminates the risk of “strike-through” contamination caused by perforating holes.

Key Features

• “Beast-Grip” Serrated Jaws: The jaws are forged with deep, cross-serrated teeth that provide a massive frictional hold. This ensures that heavy surgical cables and slippery plastic drapes stay exactly where they are placed.

• Zero-Perforation Technology: Designed to secure towels and drapes by compression rather than piercing. This preserves the liquid-resistant properties of synthetic drapes, a critical factor in preventing surgical site infections (SSIs).

• Safety-First Design: Because the tips are blunt and flat, they can be safely used to secure drapes directly against a patient’s skin in areas where a sharp clamp would cause injury or unnecessary scarring.

• Multi-Step Heavy-Duty Ratchet: Features a precision-cut locking mechanism that allows for graduated pressure. The lock is engineered to remain secure even under the constant tension of weighted surgical tubing.

• Surgical-Grade Box Joint: Meticulously aligned to prevent jaw-overlap, ensuring that the gripping force is distributed evenly across the entire surface of the jaw for a “dead-lock” hold.
