Backhaus towel clamp forceps 5" with clip for tubing up to 5/8" ring handle

Secure Draping and Tubing Management with Precision Control

Maintain a sterile field and organized workspace with the Backhaus towel clamp forceps, designed to address the common challenge of shifting surgical drapes and loose tubing. This 5-inch instrument features a robust ring handle for comfortable, controlled manipulation during lengthy procedures. The specialized clip mechanism securely grasps tubing up to 5/8 inch in diameter, preventing dislodgement that could compromise workflow efficiency. By providing reliable fixation for both linens and critical lines, this clamp supports consistent visualization and access across cardiovascular, general surgery, neurosurgery, and orthopedic applications. Its balanced design supports precise placement without excessive hand fatigue, allowing surgical teams to focus on procedural accuracy rather than equipment management.

Use Cases

• Securing surgical drapes to patient skin or underlying layers to maintain a stable sterile boundary during open procedures.
• Clamping and organizing intravenous or suction tubing up to 5/8 inch in diameter to prevent tangling and supports clear access.
• Providing temporary fixation of lightweight surgical accessories or cables within the operative field across multiple specialties.
• Assisting in the stabilization of wound edges or tissue flaps where gentle yet firm holding is required during exposure.
