Abstract
A pinch clamp device may include a first arm, which may include a first end, a second end, a first clamping surface, a first extension, and a set of first ledges proximate the first extension. The pinch clamp device may include a second arm, which may include a first end, a second end, a second clamping surface, a second extension, and a set of second ledges proximate the second extension and configured to align with the first clamping surface when the pinch clamp device is in a closed position. The set of first ledges may be configured to align with the second clamping surface when the pinch clamp device is in the closed position. The pinch clamp may include a hinge interconnecting the second end of the first arm and the second end of the second arm.

A pinch clamp device, comprising:
- a first arm, comprising a first end, a second end, a first clamping surface, a first extension, and a set of first ledges proximate the first extension;
- a second arm, comprising a first end, a second end, a second clamping surface, a second extension, and a set of second ledges proximate the second extension and configured to align with the first clamping surface when the pinch clamp device is in a closed position, wherein the set of first ledges is configured to align with the second clamping surface when the pinch clamp device is in the closed position;
- and
- a hinge interconnecting the second end of the first arm and the second end of the second arm.
A pinch clamp assembly, comprising:
- a pinch clamp device, comprising:
- a first arm, comprising a first end, a second end, a first clamping surface, a first extension, and a set of first ledges proximate the first extension;
- a second arm, comprising a first end, a second end, a second clamping surface, a second extension, and a set of second ledges proximate the second extension and configured to align with the first clamping surface when the pinch clamp device is in a closed position, wherein the set of first ledges is configured to align with the second clamping surface when the pinch clamp device is in the closed position;
- and
- a hinge interconnecting the second end of the first arm and the second end of the second arm;
- and
- an extension tube extending through the pinch clamp device.
