Abstract
A clamp for closing a flexible tube includes an anvil and a hammer. The anvil includes a passage and a slot defined therein. The passage is configured to receive a flexible tube therethrough. The hammer is slidably received within the slot of the anvil. The hammer is securable in a first position in which the passage of the anvil is substantially unoccluded and a second position in which the passage of the anvil is occluded. The hammer and the anvil are configured to prevent fluid from flowing through the flexible tube received in the passage when the hammer is in the closed position. The hammer is substantially within the anvil in the closed position.
