Abstract
The present invention is for a clamp for flexible tubing for an infusion or administrative set. The clamp has openings in which the tubing is inserted in a serpentine fashion to form a loop. The friction between the tube and surfaces of the clamp caused by this serpentine configuration allows the clamp to be maintained at any point along the tubing even while it is in the full flow position.
