Dreipunkt-Scherenklemme
Explanation:
I found only this one pdf file, but the reference to "Scherenklemme" is clearly medical/surgical.

I suppose, since there is no entry for the English term as such, that it may not be the correct technical term for it to begin with.

But if you use "Dreipunkt-Scherenklemme", you can't go wrong (a surgeon would know).
