Umbilical Scissors – Precision Obstetric Instrument
The Umbilical Scissors are a fundamental surgical tool that obstetricians, midwives, and nurses use for cutting the umbilical cord during childbirth. The instrument is designed to provide a clean, controlled cut while ensuring the utmost safety for the newborn.
The scissors feature a distinct curved blade design with blunt tips. The blunt tips are a critical safety feature, designed to prevent accidental puncture or injury to the baby’s skin during the procedure. Furthermore, the curved profile allows the clinician to approach the cord at an optimal angle, ensuring a clean cut without slipping.

Healthcare professionals select the umbilical scissors for labor and delivery rooms, maternity wards, and neonatal care units. The combination of blunt tips and curved blades makes them the standard instrument for clamping and cutting the cord safely after birth.
Because the safety of the newborn is paramount, the blunt-tip design helps prevent accidental trauma during the procedure. For related obstetric and surgical instruments, explore our Surgical Instruments or view our Bandage Scissors.
Durable Stainless Steel Design
Manufacturers construct the instrument from high-grade stainless steel, which resists corrosion and holds up across repeated sterilization cycles. The sharp cutting edges maintain their performance over time, ensuring reliable results. (Learn more about umbilical cord from Wikipedia).
