Umbilical cord tape is a sterile, single-use device designed to secure the umbilical cord after it is cut from a newborn infant. Clinically, it prevents bleeding by tightly binding the cord stump while it naturally dries and falls off, reducing the risk of infection or complications during the healing process.
These devices are typically regulated as single-use medical products, often classified under general surgical or obstetric categories depending on jurisdiction. They are supplied pre-sterilized in sterile packaging, intended for one-time use per patient to ensure safety and hygiene in neonatal care settings.
