Abstract
A catheter clamp (1) comprising a base (2) and a pivotable cover (3), the cover arranged to be capable of adopting an open condition and a clamped condition, the clamp further comprising a resiliently biased displaceable latch (12) to releasably retain the cover in the clamped condition, wherein the latch displaceable on and relative to a support surface (11) which supports the latch, so as to release the cover from the clamped condition.
Claims20
A catheter clamp comprising a base and a pivotable cover, the cover arranged to be capable of adopting an open condition and a clamped condition, the clamp further comprising a resiliently biased displaceable latch to releasably retain the cover in the clamped condition,
- wherein the latch is carried on, and supported by, a support surface of the base in both the open condition and the clamped condition;
- and
- wherein the latch is slidably displaceable on and relative to the support surface so as to release the cover from the clamped condition.
A catheter clamp comprising a base and a pivotable cover, the cover arranged to be capable of adopting an open condition and a clamped condition, the clamp further comprising a resiliently biased displaceable latch to releasably retain the cover in the clamped condition,
- wherein the latch is carried on, and supported by, a support surface of the base;
- wherein the latch is displaceable on and relative to the support surface so as to release the cover from the clamped condition;
- and
- wherein the base includes a vertical through-hole/bore and an open channel for receiving a catheter formed therein, the open channel being in communication with the through-hole/bore and extending along the base.
A clamp for a tubular medical article, comprising:
- a horizontal base having a support surface, a vertical through-hole/bore and an open channel, the open channel extending along the base and being in communication with the through-hole/bore;
- a pivotable cover, arranged to be capable of adopting an open condition and a clamped condition;
- and
- a resiliently biased displaceable latch that is carried on and supported by the support surface of the base in both the open condition and the clamped condition;
- wherein the latch may be slidably displaced, on and relative to the support surface, so as to releasably retain the cover in the clamped condition.
