What are Umbilical Cord Clamps used for?
This plastic umbilical cord clamp is an essential tool to ensure a safe birth process. It is designed to securely hold the umbilical cord before it is cut, safeguarding the baby from any potential harm. The versatility of this clamp extends beyond human use; it is equally effective in animal births.
Consequently, it is an ideal choice not only for hospitals and maternity wards but also for veterinary clinics and agricultural environments, including farms. This broad usability makes it a fundamental tool in diverse birthing scenarios.
How to use Umbilical Cord Clamps
- Timing: Within a few minutes after the baby's birth, prepare to clamp and cut the umbilical cord.
- Clamping: Place two clamps on the umbilical cord. This is done to halt blood flow through the cord.
- Cutting the Cord: Once the clamps are securely in place, cut the umbilical cord between these two clamps. This separates the baby from the placenta, which remains inside the uterus.
Preventing Bleeding: The primary function of the clamp is to stop bleeding from the blood vessels in the umbilical cord, ensuring a safe detachment process.
