Medical Hose Oetiker® Clamps, 2 Ears 11- 13 mm, also known as Oetiker® ear clamps or Oetiker® hose clamps, are commonly used in medical and other industries to secure hoses or tubes, ensuring a tight, leak-free connection. These clamps are particularly useful in situations where flexible tubing or medical hoses need to be firmly attached to connectors, fittings, or ports.
Here’s some useful information about Oetiker clamps:
Key Features:
- Design: Oetiker clamps typically feature a metal ear or band that is crimped over the hose using a special crimping tool. The clamp has a secure, low-profile design.
- Material: They are usually made from stainless steel, providing strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion.
- Secure Fit: The clamping mechanism ensures that the hose is tightly held in place, reducing the risk of leaks.
- Reusable: Some Oetiker clamps can be reused if not over-tightened, though they are often designed for one-time use in medical applications.
Medical Applications:
- Infusion Sets: Oetiker clamps are used in the assembly of medical infusion sets where the tubing is connected to catheters, syringes, or IV drips.
- Blood Pressure Cuffs: They are also used in the assembly of medical devices like blood pressure cuffs, where hose connections need to be secure.
- Dialysis: In dialysis machines, these clamps help secure hoses that carry blood or other fluids.
Advantages in Medical Use:
- Hygiene: They provide a secure and hygienic connection in medical settings, minimizing the chances of contamination.
- Low Profile: Their compact design is ideal for use in medical devices, where space constraints and ease of access are critical.
- Strength: The clamp ensures that the hose connection remains tight, preventing leaks which could affect the performance of medical equipment.
How They Work:
- The clamp is placed around the hose or tubing.
- A crimping tool is used to compress the clamp, which “ear” locks it into place.
- Once crimped, the clamp tightly holds the hose to the fitting or connector, preventing movement or leaks.
If you have a specific medical hose or device in mind, the size and type of Medical Hose Oetiker® Clamps, 2 Ears 11- 13 mm may vary, so it’s always best to use the proper size for your application.
