Precision V-Clamp IV (Patented)

The Infusion Set Regulating Clamp by Adelberg


	Healthy Clamp The Precision V-Clamp provides superior control of flow rate. Other clamps on administration sets need frequent attention and care. This permits the nurse to devote her valuable time to functions more important than readjusting the clamp. The patient benefits by minimization of his exposure to excessive or sub-marginal flow rates. A nurse should check her patients in accordance with the rules of accepted practice, not in accordance with the physical properties of plastic tubing. The Precision V-Clamp, an out-growth of space age research, is designed to provide much more uniform flow rates.

How does it work?

Standard clamps gently pinch the PVC tubing forming two lumens at either side. Plastic “cold flow” then proceeds to cause these lumens to collapse and thereby reduce the flow rate. The Precision V-Clamp firmly pinches closed both edges of the tubing and permits the center portion of the tubing to be suspended at it’s original curvature, thereby reducing “cold flow”. Raised elements on the housing clamping surface and shoulders are added to the wheel to improve tug resistance and flow rate stability. High Pressure shut-off is built in. Tailored raised elements provide a combination of gentle improved grip at the center, yet a firmer grip at the outer edges for better tug resistance.
