Product overview
Backhaus towel clamps: what to specify.
A Backhaus towel clamp holds surgical drapes in place so the operating field stays defined and covered. The two sharp, curved points pass through the drape and, in most uses, the skin edge beneath it, and a ratchet keeps the clamp closed. It is a standard item in the veterinary surgical pack.
Overall length and the sharpness and curve of the points differ between catalogues, so we confirm them from your reference piece. Clamps are normally bought in quantity because several are used at each procedure. They are also supplied as part of a spay and neuter instrument set.
