Jones Towel Clamp 4

The Jones Towel Clamp (often around 3.5 inches or ≈ 9 cm in veterinary use) is a lightweight, scissor-style instrument used to securely fasten surgical drapes and towels to a patient's skin. It maintains a strict, sterile surgical field by keeping fabrics immobilized without slipping.

Specs & features.
Unlike traditional locking clamps (like the Backhaus), the Jones clamp utilizes a unique cross-action spring handle. Instead of locking via a ratchet mechanism, the tension relies on the surgeon's grip (using the thumb and a couple of fingers) or spring pressure to keep the jaws closed. It is highly favored in veterinary medicine for its compact size, maneuverability, and speed of application.
No specifications have been listed.
- Inwardly Curved, Sharp Jaws: Equipped with overlapping, sharp-pointed 1x1 prongs designed to pierce through multiple layers of drapes and gently into the skin to prevent the drape from shifting.
- Cross-Action Spring Mechanism: Allows for quick one-handed application and removal, which is critical during rapid trauma or emergency procedures.
- Lightweight & Ergonomic: The compact design prevents the instrument from weighing down fine, lightweight drapes (such as those used in ophthalmic or exotic pet surgeries).
