A 5" Tohoku towel clamp is a medical instrument used to securely hold surgical drapes and towels in place around an operative site to create and maintain a sterile field. It can also be used to grasp tissue for retraction or to hold other items like suction lines or cables. Its precision design, made from surgical-grade stainless steel, ensures it is durable, reliable, and can withstand sterilization.

Securing surgical drapes:

The primary function is to clamp sterile towels and drapes to the patient's skin to define the surgical field and prevent contamination.

Maintaining a sterile environment:

By holding drapes in place, it helps ensure a clear and sterile field throughout the procedure.

Versatile gripping:

It can also be used for other tasks, such as grasping and retracting soft tissue or holding other lines like suction or electrocautery cables.
