Title: Guys? The scarey image on the DVD box...
Review: ...is a towel clamp. It's a surgical instrument used primarily for clipping sterile towels to one another when you're draping a prepped patient for an operation.Figure half a dozen of 'em in the average abdominal procedure tray sent up from central supply. The circulating nurse can always spill a couple more on the Mayo stand if you drop one on the floor, honest.Yeah, a towel clamp can be used as a tenaculum to grab soft tissue, sure. But that's because the pincer-like design enables you to bite into skin or muscle or fascia with *less* damage than a regular hemostat or Kocher clamp might impose by virtue of crush injury.They're actually a "kinder, gentler" way to grab the patient's flesh and hold it so that you can put the puzzle back together with a minimum of necrosis or scarring later.Sorry to kill the buzz.
