Abstract
Abstract A hose clamp for medical application comprises a bracket-shaped clamping body having bracket ends arrestable with one another to form a closed ring, and provided with openings for a hose which passes through a throughgoing passage extending in a bracket plane. The clamp body has bracket legs. Inwardly directed wedge-shaped clamping jaws are provided on the bracket legs. Side walls are located in both sides of the throughgoing passage parallel to the bracket plane so as to prevent bending out of a hose from the bracket plane.
