Abstract
A clamp for flexible tubing such as medical tubing or micro-tubing. The clamp comprises a clam-shell design having lateral non-opposing sidewalls that prevent the micro-tubing from bending out from under the mating clamping anvils when closed. The lateral non-opposing sidewalls of the clamp are non-opposing in order to facilitate injection molded in two halves of an injection mold without the use of additional slides.
