Umbilical Cord Scissors – American Pattern Design

Design and Construction
The American Pattern is defined by two thin, wide blades that meet in a shearing action rather than a pinching cut, paired with large, rounded tips designed to sit against the cord without catching surrounding tissue. The handles form finger rings at the proximal end, allowing the instrument to be held and operated securely with a stable grip. Our version of this instrument is manufactured from premium German stainless steel, chosen for its strength, corrosion resistance, and suitability for repeated use in medical environments.
Intended Use
These umbilical cord scissors are intended for cutting the umbilical cord in obstetric and maternity settings, typically as part of standard post-delivery care. As with any surgical instrument, use should follow the clinical protocols and training standards of the facility or practitioner.
