Specifications

What Is a Backhaus Towel Clamp Used For?

Once the patient has been prepared, towels are laid around the incision site and must stay exactly where they are placed. The fine teeth of the Backhaus clamp pass through the layers of towel and lock under the hard ratchet, pinning them together; where the surgeon chooses, the clamp can also take a small bite of skin to anchor the towel.

Several clamps are usually needed around one incision, so buyers generally order them in multiples, and training institutions that stock scientific & laboratory instruments include them in basic surgical sets for draping practice. Before each use, check that the ratchet still locks firmly and that the two tips meet.
