Kocher Towel Clamp

Kocher Towel Clamp is a specialized surgical instrument used to secure sterile drapes and towels around the operative site, helping maintain a controlled and sterile surgical environment throughout surgical procedures.

Designed for reliable drape fixation and operative field organization, this clamp features sharp, inward-curving pointed tips that provide a firm and secure grip on surgical drapes, towels, tubing, and other sterile coverings. The penetrating tip design minimizes the risk of slippage and helps maintain stable positioning throughout the procedure.
