ABSTRACT:
An IV tube occluder is disclosed which has a bow portion and a linkage portion which act to occlude an IV tube to prevent unwanted flow of liquid to a patient. The linkage portion and bow portion are engaged to allow the ends of the linkage portion to rotate within a certain range. The linkage portion has an extending pinching member which is used to occlude a portion of flexible tubing by pressing the tube against the bow portion. The pinching member of the linkage portion moves against the bow portion through the provision of a hinge portion of the linkage portion, which allows the pinching member to hold the tube in an open or closed position. In an alternative embodiment, both the bow portion and linkage portion are formed as a continuous body.
