A system for sealing hollow tubes (2) with an instrument (1), comprising: a sealing element (3) of plastically deformable material in the form of a sleeve (4); at least one hollow tube (2) comprising elastic material; and characterized by an instrument (1) for sealing the hollow tube comprising two jaws (8, 9), where at least one of the jaws can be moved approaching and moving away from the other jaw, where at least one of the jaws has the less a projection (11) that extends along a straight line that projects towards the other jaw and that, when the jaws move closer to each other, performs an indentation (12) on the sealing element and the tube , and at least one of the jaws has a cutting means (13) in the form of a substantially straight cutting edge (15) that projects towards the other jaw to a greater extent than the one or the protrusions, so that it can press the element sealing, where the sealing element is placed on the hollow tube and pressed against the tube to seal it, and where the cutting edge makes a cut signal (14) on the sleeve and the tube to facilitate a sealed cutting of the tube .Un sistema para sellar tubos huecos (2) con un instrumento (1), que comprende: un elemento de sellado (3) de material deformable plásticamente en la forma de un manguito (4); al menos un tubo hueco (2) que comprende material elástico; y caracterizado por un instrumento (1) para sellar el tubo hueco que comprende dos mordazas (8, 9), donde al menos una de las mordazas se puede mover acercándose y alejándose de la otra mordaza, donde al menos una de las mordazas tiene al menos un resalte (11) que se extiende a lo largo de una línea recta que se proyecta hacia la otra mordaza y que, cuando las mordazas se mueven acercándose entre sí, realiza una indentación (12) en el elemento de sellado y en el tubo, y al menos una de las mordazas tiene un medio de corte (13) en forma de un borde cortante (15) sustancialmente recto que se proyecta hacia la otra mordaza en mayor medida que
