Busch Umbilical Scissors

Description

Busch Umbilical Scissors

Busch umbilical scissors cut the umbilical cord at delivery. They come in two lengths, 13 cm and 15 cm, so units can match the size to their packs.

Two lengths

The 13 cm size keeps the pair compact. By contrast, the 15 cm size measures closer to 16 cm and adds reach. So each unit can pick the size that suits its packs.

At the delivery

Once the cord has two clamps in place, the scissors cut between them. Then the team can move on to newborn care. Also, the Busch pattern gives staff a familiar tool.

Stocking tips

Midwives and physicians may prefer different sizes. Therefore many units keep both. Plus, a spare pair in each room covers back-to-back births during a busy shift.

Why choose Busch umbilical scissors

Pick them when your team already trains on this pattern. However, any of our umbilical patterns will cut the cord. Then the choice comes down to length and habit.

Reprocessing Busch umbilical scissors

Rinse the Busch umbilical scissors right after the birth to stop blood drying on the blades. Next, open them fully and scrub the pivot. Finally, dry them, then check that the tips meet.
