About TOWEL FORCEPS
Towel forceps
Towel forceps, also known as towel clamps, are surgical instruments used to secure towels or drapes during medical procedures. They are designed to grasp and hold tissue, allowing for precise control and minimizing the risk of accidental penetration or damage.

- Non-perforating Towel Forceps: These have a wide, blunt tip and are used to secure drapes without penetrating the material. Examples include Lorna clamp, Ball & Socket clamp, and Hoff clamp.
- Jones Towel Forceps: These have a forceps-like operation and are used for small and delicate procedures.
