What is an Umbilical Cord Clamp?

The Importance of Umbilical Cord Clamping

We must ensure that umbilical cords are clamped appropriately, as their importance extends beyond just being a procedural step for neonatal care. Poor clamping can lead to blood loss, subsequent infection, and in extreme cases, even death in neonates. Proper clamping ensures:

• No blood loss in the baby.
• Bacteria and other infectious agents cannot enter the baby’s system.
• A clean wound is left to heal naturally over time.

Studies even suggest that delayed clamping (waiting for 30-60 seconds after delivery) allows greater placental blood transfer and benefits the baby further. However, the cord clamping must be effective and secure, irrespective of early or delayed clamping.

Understructure and Material of Cord Clamp

A cord clamp is typically made of non-toxic material of medical grade and will generally have the following features:

• The two arms lock tightly so that the cord can be held in place.
• Serrated teeth inside the clamp allow it to grip without slipping.
• Hinged locking mechanism to ensure it stays shut.
• Ergonomic design for one-hand operation.
• Rounded edges to avoid injuring the baby’s skin.

It is packed sterilely and individually to be discarded after use.

Some advanced clamps also have features like breakable hinges or color indicators for safety or usage tracking.

Usage Guide: How to Use Umbilical Cord Clamps

Proper usage of the clamp on an umbilical cord is crucial. Here’s a detailed, step-by-step guide on its application during childbirth:

Step 1: Preparation

• Wash your hands and wear sterile gloves.
• Ensure the cord clamp is sterile and undamaged.
• Use sterilized scissors for cutting the cord.

Step 2: Position the Clamp

• The clamp is placed approximately 3–4 cm (1.5 inches) from the baby’s navel.
• Ensure the cord is not twisted or under tension.

Step 3: Cutting the Cord

• A second clamp may be placed closer to the placenta.
• Use sterile scissors to cut the cord between the two clamps.
• Dispose of the excess cord and tools as per biomedical waste protocols.

Step 4: Post-Clamping Observation

• Monitor the clamp to ensure it stays shut.
• Keep the area clean and dry.
• The stump will naturally dry up and fall off within 7–14 days.

The clamp prevents blood from flowing out on the baby’s side while sealing the area to avoid infection.

Benefits of Umbilical Cord Clamps
