Abstract
A non-reopening clamp including two arms hingedly connected, each arm having a clamping portion such that relative rotation of the arms brings the clamping portions into clamping engagement, wherein the arms include a locking mechanism for locking the clamping portions together. Access to the locking mechanism may be prevented by a shield, to prevent a user from re-opening the clamp.
