ABSTRACT:
A catheter clamp comprises a base (1) for securing by adhesion to the skin, a hole (2) in the base for passage of a catheter tube (3), a curved tube support surface (14) for supporting the tube which is bent in use through about 90.degree., and an arm (6) pivoted at (8) between parallel upstanding side walls (4) on the base. The arm (6) has a curved portion (22) extending eccentrically of the pivot (8) which urges a tube portion (23) above the hole (2) into a vertical channel provided in a post (12), and grips the tube when the arm is pivoted to an operative clamping position. The arm is held by retention means (24, 25) in the clamping position. In another embodiment (FIGS. 8, 9) the manually operable clamping means is provided by a slider (50).
