Inside the Lorna (Edna) Towel Clamp
The lorna (edna) towel clamp sits in Sklar's towel clamp line, in the Econo Sterile Floor Grade range. This instrument is a non-perforating clamp used to secure instruments, surgical materials such as tubing, and towels to the drape surrounding a surgical site. This instrument is curved while the shanks and handle are flat so they can rest on the patient. 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.
