Frequently asked questions
Does this clamp damage delicate surgical drapes?
No, this instrument is designed specifically with non-perforating, blunted teeth. This ensures a secure, reliable grip on surgical drapes and tubing without piercing or damaging the material.
Is the stainless steel used of high quality?
Yes, each Surgi-OR Lorna (Edna) Towel Clamp is hand-crafted from high-quality Japanese stainless steel, ensuring excellent durability and resistance to the rigors of repeated surgical use.
Can I use this clamp directly on patient skin?
No. It is critical that this clamp is never applied directly to the skin. It is intended strictly for securing drapes, tubing, and surgical instruments.
Is this tool easy to keep locked during procedures?
Absolutely. It features a robust ratchet mechanism on the finger ring handles, which allows you to lock the instrument in place for a sustained, firm, and reliable hold throughout the procedure.
Will this instrument sit flat against the patient?
Yes. The design features curved jaws and tips paired with flat shanks and handles. This specific geometry allows the instrument to rest comfortably and low-profile on the patient during surgery.
Is the material safe for those with latex allergies?
Yes, this product is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for surgical environments where latex sensitivities are a concern.
Does this clamp require special sterilization before use?
Yes. The product is supplied non-sterile, so it must undergo an appropriate sterilization process according to your facility’s protocols before being introduced into a sterile surgical field.
How reliable is the Surgi-OR mid-grade line?
The Surgi-OR line is designed to be a cost-effective yet dependable solution. Every instrument is hand-crafted and meets Sklar’s rigorous quality benchmarks for performance and longevity in clinical settings.
How do I maintain this stainless steel instrument?
As a reusable surgical instrument, it should be cleaned, inspected, and sterilized following standard hospital procedures for reusable stainless steel instruments. Proper care will ensure the longevity of the Japanese steel construction.
What is the primary benefit of choosing the 3-1/2 inch size?
The 3-1/2 inch length provides a compact and precise form factor, which is ideal for tight surgical environments where you need to secure drapes or tubing without the bulk of a larger instrument.
