ABSTRACT:
The disclosure is directed to a clamp for flexible tube and more particularly a clamp for surgical use. The clamp is formed of plastic material and has a pair of clamping members connected by a flexible hinge. The flexible hinge biases the clamping members open and a cam with at least one elongated handle closes the clamping members about a flexible tube or vessel. The clamp may be locked by a screw threaded through the cam and which is advanceable into contact with one clamping member. The clamping members are provided with beveled edges to define narrow convex clamping surfaces for the concentrated distribution of the clamping force, and the surfaces have serrations to prevent slippage of the tube from the grasp of the clamp. The clamping members may be curved to facilitate insertion of the clamp into inaccessible body areas during surgical applications.
