Abstract
A tubing clip is disclosed herein which comprises a body member forming a pair of channels through which a flexible tube may be passed, each of which is provided with a means for narrowing said channel at one end which narrows the channel sufficiently to prevent the tubing from slipping through the channels unaided while permitting the flow passage of the tube to remain open.
