Clamp does not damage the tubing - solid closing and easy to open

Perfect for my needs!

My brother's best friend has a huge tumor on his neck (cancer) and cancer on the back of his tongue that makes it difficult to eat. As such, he is 6 ft tall and now looks like a concentration camp victim at 113 pounds. They put in a g-tube so that he can be fed bolusly bypassing his throat. The problem is that when you go to open his tube and hook up either the syringe or gravity bag, the tube can leak. Even more so with a full stomach when you go to unhook. They tell you to "pinch it off" but that leave you with only one hand to do everything else and when you don't have a lot of strength doesn't do well. My son had a feeding tube for his first 6.5 years until he had major stomach surgery, and we used a clamp like these. I tried unsuccessfully to get Quorum to supply us with a clamp, but they don't even carry them which I found quite shocking. I was able to find these on amazon and hoped they would handle the size of the tube. They work great!. The only reason I give 4 stars instead of 5, is because although they lock easily, it is a little more difficult to unlock them. Not much, just a little. Part of this is because I went for price, and for the price they work great. But it is plastic, and you have to train yourself (doesn't take long) on how to move your hand to unlock the scissors. Once you've practiced it works great for the price. I would buy these again.

Perfect for clamping tubes!

Exactly what I needed.
