The Jones Cross‑Action (Crossover) Towel Clip is a lightweight, stainless steel surgical instrument designed for secure draping in veterinary procedures. Commonly used to attach surgical drapes and towels to the patient’s skin, these clips help maintain a clean and sterile operating field. Unlike traditional Backhaus towel clamps, which rely on a ratchet locking system, the Jones clip utilises a cross‑action spring mechanismthe jaws open when the handles are pressed and close automatically with consistent tension when released.
