Abstract
A clamp for closing blood vessels and the like is a tapered flat envelope of impermeable plastics film with an inlet tube at its wider end for inflating the envelope and a transverse seal limiting the inflatable region. The other end is tapered and is non-inflatable. It can be tucked under a transverse strip to secure the clamp on a blood vessel. The envelope is widened under the transverse strip and also at the transverse seal to hold the narrow end in place under the strip.
