Frequently asked questions
Does the clamp damage delicate surgical drapes?
No, the Sklar Lorna (Edna) Towel Clamp is specifically engineered with non-perforating, serrated tips. These provide a secure grip on surgical drapes and tubing without puncturing or compromising the integrity of the material.
Is the design comfortable for patient contact?
Yes, this instrument features a curved-on-flat design. While the jaws are curved to hold materials securely, the shanks and handles remain flat. This allows the clamp to rest comfortably against the patient during a procedure without exerting undue pressure.
Can this clamp be sterilized for repeated use?
Absolutely. Because it is constructed from high-grade stainless steel, it is a durable, reusable instrument designed to withstand repeated sterilization cycles in a clinical environment.
How do you ensure the clamp stays locked in place?
The instrument is equipped with ratcheted finger ring handles. This mechanism allows you to lock the clamp into a firm, sustained hold, ensuring that towels or tubing remain securely in position throughout the procedure.
Is this product made from safe, non-allergenic materials?
Yes, this product is latex-free. It is manufactured entirely from high-grade stainless steel, ensuring it is free from natural rubber latex.
Can this instrument be used directly on patient skin?
No. It is explicitly indicated that this towel clamp is intended only for securing surgical materials, such as drapes and tubing, and must never be used directly on patient skin.
