Backhaus Towel Clamp | 9cm 11cm 13cm | Perforating Drape Clamp

Professional Backhaus Towel Clamp with Multi-Stage Ratchet Lock

The Backhaus Towel Clamp is a fundamental component of any sterile surgical setup, designed to prevent the migration of drapes during complex procedures. Utilizing a classic piercing design, the instrument features high-precision curved tips that effectively grasp through fabric layers to ensure a stable operative field. Its mechanical design focuses on providing a high degree of clamping force while remaining easy to manipulate with a single hand, allowing the surgical team to focus on the procedure with confidence in their drape stability.

Why Surgeons Choose Our Instruments

Surgeons choose our Backhaus Forceps because of the superior tension maintained by the precision-milled ratchet system. Unlike standard clamps, our models are balanced to ensure the tips meet with exact alignment every time, preventing accidental slipping. The finger rings are smoothed to provide a comfortable grip, even under high-pressure clamping. The Premium Stainless Steel construction ensures the instrument survives the rigors of high-frequency autoclaving without compromising its structural integrity or sharpness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which size is recommended for most minor plastic surgery procedures?
A: The 9.0cm (3.5″) or 11.5cm (4.5″) sizes are ideal for smaller surgical fields like the face or hands, where space is limited.

Q: Are these clamps safe for use on all types of surgical drapes?
A: These are perforating clamps, meaning they pierce the material. They are excellent for woven linens and many disposables, but for drapes where piercing must be avoided, a non-perforating clamp should be used.

Q: How should these clamps be cleaned after use?
A: Open the ratchet completely during cleaning to ensure all organic debris is removed from the hinge and locking teeth before sterilization.
