| abstract |
Apparatus, systems, and methods for regulating fluid flow are disclosed. The device is elastically deformable and includes a curved elongate support member having a first end and a second end. The apparatus also includes an opposing support member configured to position the tube between the first end and the second end relative to the curved elongate support member. As the first and second ends move towards each other, the curved elongate support member deforms to decrease the internal volume along the length of the tube. |
