ABSTRACT:
A surgical towel and drape clamp having opposed jaw members connected to and opened and closed by the action of pivotally interconnected shank members having finger loop members and locking ratchet members is provided with tip means on one of said jaw members having a blunt distal end portion, the other of said jaw members being provided with tip means having a concave distal end portion which has a peripheral blunt edge. Upon placing a surgical towel or surgical drape between the tip means of said jaw members and manipulating the finger loops to close the jaw members and bring the locking ratchets into interengagement with each other, the surgical towel or surgical drape is trapped between the blunt distal end portion of one of the tip means and the concave distal end portion of the other tip means. The blunt distal end portion of one of the tip means and the peripheral blunt edge of the concave distal end portion of the other tip means preclude any puncturing, abrading and cutting of the surgical towel or surgical drape by the clamping action of the present invention.
