As a mother, I was able to see an umbilical cord clamp in use during my own C-section delivery. I saw when my baby was born that the clamp was locked on the umbilical cord before it was cut. At that moment I saw the importance of this little device for the care of newborn babies. Seeing it in action gave me a better understanding of its strength reliability and its role in supporting a safe and hygienic delivery process.An Umbilical Cord Clamp is a simple device but it plays an important role providing safe and hygienic care for a newborn after birth.
What Is an Umbilical Cord Clamp
An umbilical cord clamp is a small medical device used to hold and close the umbilical cord after a baby is born. It helps to halt blood flow and reduce the risk of bleeding or infection.
The umbilical cord connects the baby to the placenta during pregnancy supplying oxygen and nutrients. When the baby is born that connection is not needed anymore. The health care professional will clamp the umbilical cord and cut the cord safely.
