A tensioner for securing and tensioning surgical tape is made of a unitary piece of plastic having an opening by which the tensioner can be attached to a section of tape. The tensioner is attached to the surgical tape prior to use; once a vessel is to be occluded, a free end of the tape is wrapped around the vessel and tensioned until bleeding stops, then the surgical tape is secured in a gripping portion of the tensioner.
