Sklar Schumacher Umbilical Scissors, 6-1/4 In
A 6-1/4 inch scissors purpose built for cutting the umbilical cord, used by obstetric and midwifery teams during and immediately after delivery.
The Sklar Schumacher Umbilical Scissors is a dedicated instrument for cutting the umbilical cord at delivery. Its blades are shaped and sized to make a clean, controlled cut through the cord without slipping, which matters in a moment where speed and precision both count. At six and a quarter inches overall, it is comfortable to hold and manoeuvre for the midwife, obstetrician or delivery room nurse performing the cut.
This instrument is standard equipment on labour and delivery units, in birthing centres and on obstetric emergency trays, and it is used routinely across both vaginal deliveries and caesarean sections. Because it is a reusable stainless steel instrument, it is processed through the facility's normal decontamination and steam sterilization cycle between deliveries, the same as other obstetric instruments.
Maternity units typically keep several of these scissors on hand so that a sterile pair is always ready for the next birth.
