Abstract
A dialysis catheter clamp and method according to the invention provide first and second arms pivotally connected. Each arm has a terminal end with a concave clamping surface. The arms pivot about the pivot connection between an open position in which the concave clamping surfaces are space apart and a closed position in which the concave clamping surfaces abut one another and define a closed cylindrical passage between the concave clamping surfaces.
