<p>A milking device (10) having a flexible, unitary body (12) for securing and compressing patient tubing (48) is disclosed comprising first and second portions (14, 16) which are tapered from one another and define a conduit (38) that communicates with a channel (30) formed on one side of the device and an opposing slot (40) formed on the other side thereof. First and second portions (14, 16) further define first and second receptacles (26, 28), respectively, each adapted to receive a roller (18, 20) disposed rotatably therein for engaging patient tubing (48). A pair of guides (54) are provided at the entrance of the device (10) in order to facilitate the axial advancement of patient tubing (48) through the conduit (38) of the body (12). Distal and proximal openings (32, 34) are formed at either end of the conduit (38) to receive a portion of patient tubing (48) inserted through the channel (30). The device (10) may then be advanced longitudinally along the tubing (48) as a user presses the two rollers (18, 20) together and engages the tubing (48) while progressively evacuating the contents thereof into an appropriate collection site.</p> |
