A forcepslike device for cutting and squeezing tubing. The forceps comprise a pair of pivotally joined arms having cutting edges on one end to cut in a scissorlike fashion and finger engagable loops at the other end. A roller is mounted on each of the arms. The rollers are movable toward each other

A forcepslike device for cutting and squeezing tubing. The forceps comprise a pair of pivotally joined arms having cutting edges on one end to cut in a scissorlike fashion and finger engagable loops at the other end. A roller is mounted on each of the arms. The rollers are movable toward each other to grip a flexible plastic tube between them when the forceps are closed. The rollers have matching configuration to insure proper gripping of the tube to clear the tube of its contents.

A medical device for cutting and squeezing tubing comprising: a pair of elongated arm members; integral pivot means connecting the arm members together for movement relative to each other about a single fixed pivot axis, said pivot axis of the pivot means extending transversely of the arm members at a point between the ends of the arm members, each arm member having a first end remote from the pivot means, said first end on each arm member being movable toward and away from the other first end, each of said first ends having a cutting edge, so that the arms may pivot toward each other in a scissor cutting action about the pivot means; each arm member having a second end remote from the pivot means, said second end on each arm member being movable toward and away from the other second end, each of said second ends having an area engageable by a user\s fingers to move the ends toward each other in a scissor action about the pivot means; first and second rollers mounted rotatably on individual axes affixed to said arm members between said pivot means and said second ends; each of said axes being affixed to a different arm member; said axes being substantially parallel to each other and to said pivot axis of the pivot means, whereby when the user\s fingers engage said second ends and squeeze them together, said cutting edges engage each other in said cutting action and the rollers move toward each other until they reach a fixed position relative to each other sufficient to permit tubing to be squeezed between the rollers.
