A balloon clamp apparatus seals an inflation passageway of an inflated balloon and includes a clip member which includes a central portion, a first extension portion connected to the central portion, and a second extension portion connected to the central portion. The first extension portion and the second extension portion extend in a common direction from the central portion. The clip member includes a gap between the first extension portion and the second extension portion. The gap is for receiving the inflation passageway of the balloon. A pliers assembly includes a pair of handle portions, a fulcrum portion to which the pair of handle portions are connected, and a pair of clamp members connected to the pair of handle portions. The first extension portion, the central portion, the second extension portion, and the gap of the clip member can be formed as a C-shaped clip member. Also, each of the clamp members includes a semi-cylindrical ridge-retention portion, and each ridge portion is semi-circular and is retained in a semi-cylindrical ridge-retention portion. With the C-shaped clip member, the ridge portions of the clamp members compress and deform a portion of the first extension portion, a portion of the central portion, and a portion of the second extension portion of the clip member against the inflation passageway of the balloon for sealing the inflation passageway. As this is done, the gap is closed.
