Description

Merit Lorna (Edna) Towel Clamps are a non-perforating clamp used to secure instruments, surgical materials such as tubing, and towels to the drape surrounding a surgical site. The jaws and tips are curved while the shanks and handle are flat so they can rest on the patient. The teeth on the tips of this towel clamp are blunted so they grip tightly but do not penetrate the surgical drape. They also have ratcheted finger ring handles so a firm hold can be secured. The Lorna Towel Clamp is also commonly refered to as the Edna Towel Clamp. This clamp should never be used on skin. Merit instruments are Sklar’s mid-grade line of products and most commonly utilized for routine and in-office minor procedures. These cost effective, high quality instruments are crafted from Pakistan steel and come with a 10 year guarantee. Merit instruments deliver an economical solution for physicians and practices that require quality, durable instruments. This product is 5-1/4 inches long.
