Tube Clamp
Also called Vorse Tubing Occluding Clamp, Tube Occluding Forceps
Heavy ring-handled clamp with a ratchet and non-slip jaws that have no coarse serrations, so tubing is squeezed shut without being cut.
Primary uses
What this instrument is on the table to do.
Clamps tubing and cannulas shut, such as heart-lung bypass lines and chest tubes. It is not used on tissue.
Sizes & variants
The lengths, angles and patterns it comes in.
About 5 1/2 to 8 1/8 in (14 to 20.5 cm), sized to the tubing: about 6 1/8 in for 1/4 in tubing, 7 3/8 in for 3/8 in tubing, and 8 1/8 in for 1/2 in tubing. Versions with a U-shaped safety guard keep the box lock from puncturing the tubing.
