ABSTRACT:
An obstetric scissors for clamping and severing an umbilical cord in a simplified manner is provided. Also, a method for severing an umbilical cord after clamping the umbilical cord with clamps is provided. The method provided severs an umbilical cord using an obstetric scissors having a pair of handles for actuating a pair of mounted clamps and cutting edges at an end thereof. The method has the steps of mounting a pair of clamps to a pivot pin and a pair of clamp holders of an obstetric scissors, positioning the obstetric scissors about the periphery of an umbilical cord such that the clamps impinge upon the umbilical cord, applying a force to the pair of handles of the obstetric scissors to compress the umbilical cord with the pair of clamps and continuing the application of such force so that after the umbilical cord is compressed by the clamps the cutting edges of the obstetric scissors can cut the umbilical cord while the clamps remain clamped on the umbilical cord on both sides of the obstetric scissors cutting edges.
