Abstract
A system and method for holding tubing for a peristaltic pump that allows for tube stretch or deformation. The present invention compensates for tube stretching and holds the tubing in the elongated position using a one way bearing clutch. Drip retention or a reversal of the pump does not allow the tube to move back into the pump. An encoder can monitor tube elongation and allow metering the tubing during indexing.
