Sklar Umbilical Scissors, 4 Inch
A compact 4 inch scissors used to cut the umbilical cord cleanly during delivery, suited to obstetric and neonatal care settings.
The Sklar Umbilical Scissors is a small, dedicated instrument for cutting the umbilical cord at the time of birth. Its four inch length keeps it compact and easy to control in the often busy, fast moving moments immediately following delivery, while its blades are shaped to make a clean cut through the cord without slipping.
This instrument is standard equipment on labour and delivery units, in birthing centres and on obstetric emergency trolleys, used routinely across vaginal deliveries and caesarean sections alike. Midwives, obstetricians and delivery room nurses are the typical users, and the compact size makes it a convenient choice where a smaller instrument is preferred over a longer umbilical scissors pattern.
As a reusable stainless steel instrument, it is processed through the facility's standard decontamination and steam sterilization cycle between deliveries, and maternity units typically keep multiple sets ready given how frequently the instrument is used.
