Mod. USA Umbilical Scissors

These USA umbilical scissors follow a modified US pattern for cutting the cord. You can order a 10 cm or a 13 cm size.

Small sizes

At 10 cm, this pair ranks among the shortest cord scissors we list. So it tucks into small kits. Also, the 13 cm size gives a little more reach.

Measured lengths

The 10 cm pair measures about 10.5 cm. Meanwhile, the 13 cm pair measures about 12 cm. Therefore check both figures if your kit trays have tight slots.

A modified pattern

The design adapts a US cord scissor pattern. Then it serves the same task at every birth. Plus, the short body keeps the tips close to your fingers.

Where they fit

Short cord scissors suit birthing kits and emergency delivery packs. However, some staff prefer a longer pair for hospital births. So stock the USA umbilical scissors alongside a 15 cm pattern if needs vary.

Cleaning USA umbilical scissors

Keep small scissors in a marked pouch so they do not get lost in a larger set. Then clean and dry them after each birth, paying attention to the pivot. Also, replace any pair with tips that no longer meet.
