Inside the Backhaus Towel Clamp
The backhaus towel clamp sits in Sklar's towel clamp line, in the Econo Sterile Floor Grade range. This instrument is a perforating clamp used for securing towels or drapes, grasping tissue, and holding or reducing small bone fractures. Econo Sterile instruments are ready-to-use, sterile, disposable, floor-grade instruments sold in bulk quantities. It is made of stainless steel. Because it is sterile and disposable, it goes from the package to the field and is discarded after the case, which keeps turnover simple.

- Confident Grip on Tissue – The perforating 1x1 prongs working end engages tissue deliberately, so the clinician is not fighting slippage mid-case.
- Faster Turnover – Ready sterile supply shortens the turnaround, because nothing waits on reprocessing.
- Factory Inspected – Each instrument passes Sklar's factory inspection before it ships, which is the quality step sterile supply depends on.
- Listed for the Work – Sklar lists this item for general surgery work, so it is specified for the service that orders it.
