Umbilical cord scissors are reusable surgical tools designed to safely and cleanly sever the umbilical cord immediately after childbirth. Their shearing blades are engineered to minimize trauma to the newborn while ensuring a precise cut, reducing risks like excessive bleeding or cord stump complications.
These devices are typically regulated as surgical instruments, subject to manufacturing standards ensuring sterility, durability, and performance for repeated use. They are supplied sterile-packed for clinical settings and must comply with general medical device regulations, though classification varies by jurisdiction based on risk factors like blade design and material.
