A pressure plate for use with a peristaltic pump having a base with a plurality of ribs attached to one surface of the base, each rib having a bottom surface, a top surface and an angled surface extending at an angle from the bottom to the top surface. Each rib being attached to the base such that the angled surface of each rib is oppositely disposed from the angled surface of another rib so that a channel is formed between each pair of oppositely disposed ribs. A securing mechanism is attached to the pressure plate to secure a compressible tube and an attachment mechanism is provided for attaching a pump mechanism to the pressure plate. One securing mechanism includes two clamps at opposite ends of the pressure plate with spaced apart retaining lips. Adhesive attachment of the tube to the pressure plate is also provided.
