Description:

The TUBE Occluding Clamp with straight, smooth jaws and a heavy pattern is a medical and laboratory instrument used to securely occlude or clamp tubes, preventing the flow of fluids or gases. The smooth, straight jaws are designed to exert pressure on the tube without causing damage or crushing, ensuring that the integrity of the tubing is maintained. The heavy pattern construction provides increased strength and durability, making the clamp ideal for repeated use in clinical, laboratory, and surgical environments.

Features:

• Straight Jaws: Ensures consistent, even pressure across the tube for effective occlusion.
• Smooth Jaws: Prevents damage to the tube, maintaining its structure and preventing leaks.
• Heavy Pattern Construction: Provides enhanced strength and durability for long-term usage.
• Non-slip Grip: Helps maintain a secure hold on tubes without slippage.
• Versatile: Can be used with a variety of tubes, including those made from rubber, silicone, or plastic, typically found in medical procedures.

Usage: The TUBE Occluding Clamp is primarily used in medical and laboratory settings where tubes need to be temporarily closed or sealed to stop the flow of fluids, gases, or air. It is commonly used during surgical procedures, for sample collection in laboratories, or when conducting experiments that involve the flow of substances through tubes. The clamp is often used to isolate sections of a tube or to control fluid flow in a controlled environment.

• Medical Uses: In surgical procedures, the clamp is used to stop the flow of blood or other fluids in catheters, drainage tubes, and IV lines.
• Laboratory Uses: It is also employed in laboratories when handling tubes for fluid or gas experiments, or when securing tubes in place for further analysis.

The clamp’s smooth jaws ensure it is gentle on sensitive materials, making it an essential tool in both medical and scientific applications where precision and safety are critical.
