Abstract
The present invention is a sterilizable, reusable flexible bag closure device for closing the open end(s) of a flexible bag. The closure device comprises two primary structural components: an elongated clamp member and an elongated rod member. The open end of the flexible bag is folded around the elongated rod member. The combination of the rod member with the bag end folded over the rod member is then installed into the interior space of the clamp member.
