Thanks everyone for the input... I've had an email from Vygon and contacted Dunlops about them, but we can only order them as a special thru Dunlops and they only come in packs of 15!!! I only wanted a couple.... anyway will try and talk to them tomorrow to sort things out... but still very interested in other options....Thanks

no these are not the gate clamps they are like little plastic artery forceps, and even if they did come undone the valve stops anything coming back in. so a good double team really.

Not keen on the plastic clamps they have a tendency to pop open! We use metal gate clamps just to be on the safe side! the good thing is they are reusable

We used a large bore catheter recently when we needed one for a cat with a pneumothorax. We put a three way tap on it and it worked really well!
