5 Benefits of our Umbilical Cord Scissors
Designed for the Critical Task of Severing the Umbilical Cord in Childbirth
Used by medical experts such as obstetricians and midwives, they offer a secure and precise cut, ensuring the newborn's safe transition from the womb. The curved, blunt blades are tailored to prevent injury, while the medical-grade stainless steel construction guarantees sterility and longevity. These scissors play a pivotal role in reducing infection risks and promoting a safe delivery process.
Umbilical cord scissors are essential for both human and veterinary birth, indispensable in hospital maternity wards, veterinary clinics, and on farms for ensuring safe delivery in a variety of birthing environments.
How to Use the Umbilical Cord Scissors
If you are in an emergency birth situation, here is general guidance on how to use the umbilical cord scissors:
- Ensure that the umbilical cord has ceased pulsing, as typically advised by the practitioner.
- Apply two clamps to the umbilical cord at the appropriate distance.
- Position a piece of sterile gauze beneath the section of the cord to be cut to absorb any blood and reduce splatter.
- Cut between the two clamps using the sterile umbilical cord scissors. The cord may be surprisingly dense and require firm pressure.
- After cutting, gently dab away any excess blood from the area. The volume of blood can vary depending on the timing of the cut post-delivery.
- Once finished, safely place the scissors aside, or return them to the assisting healthcare professional.
