Umbilical Cord Clamp – A Critical Tool for Neonatal Care
The umbilical cord clamp is a specialized medical device engineered to meet the rigorous demands of neonatal care. Sterimed’s umbilical cord clamps are precision-crafted for safe and effective clamping of the umbilical cord immediately after birth, ensuring optimal protection against infection and blood loss.
This product is trusted by healthcare professionals worldwide due to its uncompromising quality, adherence to safety standards, and user-focused design.
Technical Features of Sterimed Umbilical Cord Clamp
- Non-Toxic Medical-Grade PVC:
Manufactured from biocompatible, non-toxic PVC that ensures patient safety, this clamp is designed specifically for neonatal applications, offering resistance to sterilization-induced degradation. - Permanent Locking Mechanism:
Features an advanced, fail-proof locking system to provide a secure closure without the risk of accidental reopening. The locking system guarantees a reliable clamp every time, maintaining consistent pressure to prevent hemorrhage. - Ergonomic Finger Grips:
Incorporates precision-molded finger grips to facilitate controlled application. This ensures that healthcare providers can apply the clamp with ease, even under high-pressure situations. - Precision-Engineered Teeth:
The interlocking teeth of the clamp are finely calibrated to evenly distribute pressure across the cord, minimizing the risk of tissue damage while ensuring complete closure. - Sterile and Disposable Design:
Designed for single-use, this sterile device reduces the risk of cross-contamination in sensitive environments such as delivery rooms and neonatal ICUs.
Applications of the Umbilical Cord Clamp
The umbilical cord clamp is an indispensable tool in:
- Maternity and Delivery Rooms: Provides rapid and secure clamping of the umbilical cord after birth.
- Neonatal Wards: Ensures the umbilical cord remains securely sealed until natural detachment occurs.
- Field and Emergency Settings: Its intuitive design and robust construction make it ideal for emergency deliveries in non-clinical settings.
Why Sterimed’s Umbilical Cord Clamp Stands Out?
Sterimed Group’s umbilical cord clamp is more than just a disposable medical device. It is a testament to our commitment to advancing neonatal care by combining innovative engineering with high-quality materials. Each clamp undergoes stringent quality checks to ensure reliability and safety in every use.
Value-Added Advantages:
- Enhanced ease of use reduces the chances of application error.
- Compact and lightweight, ensuring convenience for healthcare workers.
- Packaged in sterile, tamper-proof pouches to maintain hygiene standards.

How to Use the Umbilical Cord Clamp:
- Preparation: Ensure the umbilical cord is clean and dry before applying the clamp.
- Positioning: Place the clamp approximately 2-3 cm from the newborn’s abdominal wall.
- Application: Press the clamp firmly until the locking mechanism clicks, ensuring it is securely closed.
- Disposal: Dispose of the used clamp according to medical waste protocols.
