A kink inhibiting device is provided for inhibiting kinking in a length of curved flexible tubing, and in particular IV or drip tubing. The device comprises a pair of U-shaped shell halves which are joined back-to-back at their bight portions by an integral hinge formation. The shell halves each define channels having semi-circular cross-sectional profiles, and are formed with connecting lands carrying studs and complemental apertures for allowing the shell halves to mate with one another. The shell halves each have a radius of curvature (R) which is greater than the maximum radius of curvature at which the flexible tubing starts to kink when unsupported.
Dispositif utilisé pour éliminer les torsions dans une section de tube souple incurvée, en particulier un tube d'intraveineuse ou de perfusion. Le dispositif comprend une paire de demi-coquilles en U, unies dos-à-dos au niveau de leur section de boucle, au moyen d'une charnière intégrée. Les demi-coquilles sont dotées l'une et l'autre de rainures transversales semi-circulaires et comportent des surfaces d'appui munies de tiges et d'ouvertures complémentaires pour assurer leur assemblage. Les demi-coquilles ont toutes deux un rayon de courbure (K) supérieur au rayon de courbure maximal auquel un tube souple, non supporté, commence à se tordre.
