Clinical Application
Designed for controlled transection of the umbilical cord and small associated membranes, these scissors are used in delivery rooms, obstetric suites, nurseries and neonatal care settings. Their geometry supports precise cuts close to clamps or ties while minimizing tissue fraying and inadvertent injury to adjacent structures. They are appropriate for both vaginal and cesarean deliveries where a compact, easy-to-position cutting instrument is required.
Design & Configuration
The compact 15.5 cm length provides a balance of reach and tactile control, allowing the operator to work within the confined field of the newborn and obstetric environment. Short, closely aligned blades enable precise transection and help limit excessive stump length. Ring-style handles deliver familiar manual control and allow for quick, confident maneuvers during routine cord cutting and related tasks.
