1. An in-line occluder comprising:
- a flexible tubing having a bore;
an occluder disposed in the bore, the occluder comprising;
a body;
an occluder, the occluder having a round cross-section and engaging the bore of the tubing to seal against the tubing and prevent flow past the tubing; and

Abstract
A system for selectively preventing free flow in a tube includes an in-line occluder disposed in the tube and an actuator pad for creating a flow path between the tube and the occluder. The actuation pad presses towards the occluder from a single side and stretches the tube to create a large flow path. The occluder stem is strengthened to resist deformation and damage from the forces applied by the actuator pad.

13. An occluder system comprising;
-
a flexible tubing having a lumen; an occluder comprising; a body; a stem having a first end and a second end, the first end being attached to the body; and an occluder attached to the second end of the stem and spaced apart from the body, the occluder being disposed in the lumen of the tube and having a round cross-section with a diameter greater than the diameter of the lumen; an actuator pad, the actuator pad comprising; two projections; and an actuation channel disposed between the two projections; and wherein the actuation pad selectively engages the tubing on one side of the tubing to create a flow passage between the occluder and an opposite side of the tubing. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
