Description
MEDILAB Snapper Clamps are precision-engineered plastic clamps designed to securely hold and stabilize hoses, tubing, and laboratory connections. Their self-locking snap mechanism provides quick, reliable fastening without tools, making them essential for fluid handling systems, benchtop setups, and industrial equipment. Durable, corrosion-proof, and easy to operate, these clamps ensure leak-free connections and consistent performance in laboratories and production environments.
Key Features

Handling & Precautions
- Ensure the clamp is fully snapped into place for a secure hold
- Not suitable for high-temperature sterilisation; avoid autoclaving
- Clean with mild detergents; avoid harsh solvents that may affect surface finish
- Do not force open the clamp; use thumb pressure to release smoothly
- Store in cool, dry conditions to maintain mechanical strength
- Avoid exposure to strong oxidising agents
Applications
- Securing tubing and hoses in chemical, biological, and analytical laboratories
- Fluid transfer setups in pharmaceutical manufacturing, biotech research, and QC/QA labs
- Fixing connections in pilot plants, process equipment, and industrial fluid systems
- Holding glassware, adapters, or jointed components in benchtop arrangements
- Useful in academic institutes for general laboratory experiments and demonstrations
