There is provided a peristaltic pump which has a base member and a rotor attached to the base member. The rotor is adapted to receive a resilient collapsible tube. The pump further includes a stator having a fixed member disposed in a permanent position relative to the rotor. A door stator is connected to the fixed stator, and the entire stator will confront the periphery of the rotor over at least uninterrupted 180° concave surface. A latch is provided on the door stator, so that it may pivot outward for ease of removal of the tubing.
