The umbilical cord clamp is a small but important device used by midwives and obstetricians on the newborn’s umbilical cord right after birth. It forms a tight secure seal preventing blood loss through the cord, which helps avoid life-threatening blood loss and reduces the risk of bacterial infection at the cord stump. Made from non-toxic medical-grade PVC, this clamp has a high flexural strength and locks tightly with just one press, holding for 24 to 48 hours until the cord is completely dry and bleeding stops on its own.
