Abstract
A clamping assembly includes a body having a base and an arcuate body portion secured to the base. The arcuate body portion defining at least one opening dimensioned to receive a tubular member having a lumen. The clamping assembly further includes a slide member adapted to slide along the arcuate portion between an open position and a closed position. The slide member is movable along the arcuate body portion to compress the tubular member received within the body against the base to obstruct the lumen of the tubular member when the slide member is in the closed position.
Claims22
A clamping assembly, comprising:
- a body having a base and an arcuate body portion secured to the base, the arcuate body portion defining at least one opening dimensioned to receive a tubular member having a lumen;
- and
- a slide member adapted to slide along the arcuate portion between an open position and a closed position, wherein the slide member is movable along the arcuate body portion to compress the tubular member received within the body against the base to obstruct the lumen of the tubular member when the slide member is in the closed position.
A catheter assembly, comprising:
- a catheter defining a bore;
- a body having a base and an arcuate body portion secured to the base, wherein the base is configured to support the catheter;
- and
- a slide member slidably positioned on the arcuate body portion, the slide member being adapted to slide along the arcuate body portion between an open position and a closed position, wherein the slide member is movable along the arcuate body portion to compress the catheter to occlude the bore when the slide member is in the closed position.
A clamping assembly, comprising:
- a body having a base and an arcuate body portion secured to the base, the arcuate body portion defining a first opening, a second opening located in a proximal section of the arcuate body portion, and an aperture dimensioned to receive a tubular member having a lumen, the aperture being located in a first section of the arcuate body portion;
- a slide member adapted to slide along the arcuate portion between an open position and a closed position, wherein the slide member is movable along the arcuate body portion to compress the tubular member received within the body against the base to obstruct the lumen of the tubular member when the slide member is in the closed position;
- and
- wherein the arcuate body portion includes at least one feature which is releasably engagable with a corresponding feature on the slide member to releasably secure the slide member in the closed position.
