A TWO PART DEVICE FOR SHUTTING-OFF AND SEVERING A TUBE,PARTICULARLY A TUBE USED IN DIALYSIS OR INTRAVENOUS INJECTION

摘要

The device consists of a first part having two parallel walls and a second part hinged to the first part. The first part is provided with four coaxial pairs of catch openings and the second part with three coaxial pairs of projections. Upon swivelling of the second part between the walls of the first part, the pairs of projections snap successively into the corresponding pairs of catch openings, whereby the tube previously inserted in the first part is clamped and subsequently cut through. By making it possible to clamp and sever the tube with a single device, greater security is ensured for the patient.
