ABSTRACT:
An umbilical cord blood extractor includes a lower tray for receiving the cord and an upper lid for squeezing the cord. The lower tray and upper lid are preferably couplable at one end at pivot locations or a hinge. The lower tray is provided with a longitudinal trough and a distal blood reservoir for collecting blood. The trough is closed at its proximal end and opens into the reservoir at its distal end. A blood collection needle is preferably provided in the lower tray at a lower portion of the reservoir. The upper lid is formed with a preferably proximally to distally tapered, longitudinal protrusion (plunger) sized such that when the upper lid is rotated toward the lower tray, on the pivots or at the hinge, the plunger enters into the trough and squeezes a section of umbilical cord located therein.
