What You Should Know About Surgical Rail Clamps

Surgical rail clamps are a must for the operating room table! These clamps allow medical professionals the ability to easily use OR table accessories by attaching the clamp to side railings. Surgical table rail clamps are available in a variety of styles and sizes to fit your operating room table, perfectly.

Before deciding which surgical rail clamp is best for you, we recommend determining the type of OR table you have, including the measurements of the side railings. Our medical side rail sockets are durable, easy to clean, easy to remove from side railings, have multifaceted designs allowing for horizontal and vertical mounting and increased clamping force to ensure stability.

Having a durable, high-quality surgical rail clamp can really make a difference in the OR. Why risk the possibility of the clamp breaking or falling off during a surgical procedure?
