What is the term for/manufacturer of belay devices with a clip that holds the ATC onto the carabiner?
I broke my friend's ATC, and am trying to find a replacement, but I don't quite know what to look for.
It was a somewhat unique unit, at least among those I've seen; it was a standard "basket" ATC with a screw-lock carabiner, but it had a plastic clip that secured the cable from the ATC to the slotted side of the 'biner, presumably so there was no possibility of losing one or the other. The plastic wasn't structural/weight-bearing.
Either way, it broke, it's my fault, and I can't for the life of me figure out what to ask Google to find the term for such a device, or a manufacturer that sells them.
Does anyone know what the term for a belay device with a plastic clip that secures the ATC to the carabiner is? More to the point: who manufactures them?
Thanks!

Hmmm... could it be that you mean the DMM Belay master?
The main functions of the plastic clip are to ensure that the carabiner gate is screwed shut before it can be closed, and to prevent cross-loading of the carabiner.
