Tube Occluding Fcps (Presbyterian Hosp.) 20cm

Clinical Application

Used to provide reliable, temporary occlusion of flexible medical tubing to control the passage of air, blood, irrigation, or other fluids during procedures. Common clinical uses include clamping endotracheal or tracheostomy tubes during airway management, isolating segments of drainage and suction tubing, securing lines during device exchanges, and preventing backflow while maintaining tube integrity.

Design & Configuration

The clamping geometry is optimized to compress soft tubing uniformly so flow is stopped without cutting or sharply creasing the lumen. The 20 cm overall length affords additional reach from the instrument table into the operative field or into deeper access sites, while the handheld clamping form enables precise tactile control for graduated occlusion and rapid release when needed.
