How it is used
Once the patient is prepared, towels and drapes are laid around the incision site so that only the operative area is exposed. Backhaus clamps pin the corners where drapes overlap so the sterile field does not slip during the operation. The pointed jaws pass through the fabric layers and, where needed, take a small bite of skin to anchor the drape firmly.
The ratchet locks the jaws at the chosen pressure, and the springy shanks release cleanly when the ratchet is opened at the end of the case. Theatre staff also use towel clamps to hold suction tubing and cables in place on the drape.
