Description
The Universal Clark Socket Clamp is a versatile, dual-function surgical accessory engineered for secure attachment of operating room instruments and supports directly to surgical table side rails ( USA rails standard unless specified ). Crafted from high-grade 304 stainless steel for corrosion resistance and durability, it accommodates both round posts and flat bar-style accessories, enabling precise positioning and stability during procedures. Its innovative design allows for quick snap-on attachment at any point along the rail—without needing end notches or standoffs—while a positive locking T-handle mechanism provides full angular control and reliable hold. Fully autoclavable, it supports efficient workflow in high-pressure environments by facilitating easy adjustments and repositioning. This clamp is primarily used to mount auxiliary surgical supports, including arm boards, stirrups, IV poles, anesthesia screens, trays, and leg holders, to the side rails of operating tables. By stabilizing these components parallel to the rail, it enhances patient positioning, instrument accessibility, and overall procedural safety across routine and complex operations.
