MICRO-CONTROL DEVICE FOR FLUID FLOW THROUGH FLEXIBLE TUBES

摘要

A device for controlling the flow of fluid through a resilient, flexible tube for particular use in single use surgical apparatus, having a housing surrounding the tube, an aperture in the side wall of the housing, and a manually or mechanically actuated lever that extends through the aperture in the housing and when actuated compresses the tube at a location adjacent to and in a direction toward the aperture in the side wall of the housing to provide an exact and variable adjustment of the flow rate of liquids through the tube.
