20080243089 | Color-coded slide clamp - A color-coded slide clamp for controlling the flow of fluid or other substance through an I.V. delivery tube. Each slide clamp generally comprises two longitudinal sides connected at one point by a resilient transverse end. At an opposing end, the longitudinal sides include crimping surfaces, which are clamped around the flexible delivery tube to regulate the flow of fluid passing there through. The precise width of the longitudinal sides determines the rate of flow of the fluid that may pass through the delivery tube. The wider the sides are, the lower rate of fluid that may pass through the tube. The width of the sides is fixed at the time of manufacture to correspond to a single, steady flow rate. The flow rate of the clamps can be easily identified by a color coding scheme. Alternately, clamps can be color-coded for easy identification of the type of fluids passing through the tubes. | 10-02-2008 |
