Umbilical cord scissors are precision surgical instruments designed to safely cut the umbilical cord after birth. Unlike standard scissors, these specialized tools feature stainless steel blades for a clean, controlled cut that minimizes tissue trauma. Many designs incorporate blunt tips or curved edges to reduce the risk of accidental injury to the newborn or caregiver.

In both human and veterinary applications, umbilical cord scissors ensure a quick and efficient separation process. While some wild mammals naturally sever the cord through chewing or movement, medical intervention requires a sterile, controlled approach. These scissors are engineered to slice through the thick, fibrous umbilical cord with minimal effort, preventing jagged edges that could lead to complications.

Often used in combination with an umbilical cord clamp, these instruments provide a safe and effective method for postnatal care. Their ergonomic design ensures ease of use, making them essential tools in obstetrics, midwifery, and veterinary medicine (but we use them in the lab for cutting all kinds of thick material).
