Line Clamps, Winged Fixation & Cord Clamps
Slide clamps in colour-coded bodies, winged catheter fixation from 3F to 10F including a 4F PICC size, and umbilical cord clamps. The small parts that hold everything else in place.
Overview
Three families of moulded clamp. The slide clamp pinches a line closed and stays where it is put, supplied in colour-coded bodies so a clamped line can be identified without tracing it. The winged fixation clamp holds a catheter against the skin, sized from 3F to 10F with a dedicated 4F body for PICC lines — a fixation piece that is a size out either slips or compresses, so the range matters more than it looks. The umbilical cord clamp is a single-action locking clamp for delivery kits. All three are bulk components for set and kit assemblers.

- OEM component for kit assemblers
Fixation sizing
| Part | Sizes | Holds | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Winged fixation | 3F – 10F | Catheter against skin | Size to the catheter, not to the dressing |
| PICC fixation | 4F | PICC line | Dedicated body, not a 3F used loosely |
| Slide clamp | Line bore to specify | Tubing, occluded | Colour-coded for identification |
| Cord clamp | Single size | Umbilical cord | Single-action lock |
Questions distributors ask
Why is there a separate 4F PICC body rather than using the 3F?
Because a fixation clamp that is undersized compresses the line and one that is oversized lets it move. Either way the fixation fails at the point it is supposed to work. The 4F body exists for PICC because PICC lines sit in place for weeks, where a slow failure has time to matter.
Do the slide clamps stay closed in transit?
They hold position once set — that is the design point, and it is what separates a usable slide clamp from a loose one. If your sets ship pre-clamped, tell us and we will confirm the retention force against your packaging.
