Schumacher Umbilical Scissors

Description

Schumacher Umbilical Scissors

Schumacher umbilical scissors cut the umbilical cord after birth. They measure about 15 cm, a handy size that fits neatly into standard delivery packs.

Cutting the cord

After the team clamps the cord, the scissors divide it between the clamps. So the pattern focuses on one job at every delivery. Also, a dedicated pair keeps cord cutting separate from other steps in the delivery.

About 15 cm

The site lists this pair at 15 to 15.5 cm. Therefore it gives enough length to keep hands clear of the newborn. Meanwhile, it stays compact in a delivery pack.

For delivery rooms

Labor and delivery units often keep several pairs ready. Then each delivery pack holds its own pair. Plus, a few spares cover busy shifts while other pairs go through reprocessing.

Choosing an umbilical pattern

We carry several umbilical scissors, including Busch and Marbach patterns. However, the Schumacher umbilical scissors suit teams that already know this pattern. So match your order to existing packs.

Reprocessing Schumacher umbilical scissors

Clean cord blood from the blades as soon as the delivery ends. Next, run the scissors through a washer cycle with the blades open. Finally, dry them and pack each pair into its own delivery set.
