Schaedel Hemostatic Forceps 8.6 cm (3.4)

Controlled Towel and Drape Handling Across Surgical Workflows

The Schaedel towel clamp forceps is a 3 3/8-inch instrument designed to secure towels or drapes during surgical setup and procedures. Its cross-action mechanism and sharp tips support firm engagement of fabric, while the flat handle provides a straightforward gripping surface for controlled placement and adjustment. The non-magnetic construction is suited to workflows where magnetic response must be avoided. In cardiovascular, general surgery, and ophthalmic settings, it can help maintain organized coverage and access around the operative field when used according to facility technique and protocol.

Use Cases

• Secure surgical towels or drapes during general surgery setup and ongoing field management.
• Support organized drape positioning in cardiovascular procedures where controlled coverage is needed.
• Assist with drape management in ophthalmic workflows while maintaining an orderly operative field.
• Use the cross-action design and sharp tips to engage towel or drape material during placement and adjustment.
• Apply the flat handle for direct manual control when positioning or releasing the clamp.
