ABSTRACT:
A unitary clamp integrally structured from two U-shaped members respectively disposed one from the other by an interjoining web between proximate arms of each U-shaped member, distal ends of each member having latching means mechanism so as to latch, simultaneously, both U-shaped members into a closed position and the interjoining web sheets spacially disposing each U-shaped member into adjacent closing engagement about an umbilical cord. The web sheets are cut by a pair of scissors to sever the cord and one of the U-shaped clamp members is thus attached to the umbilical cord attached to the abdomen of an infant while the other to the umbilical cord connected to the placenta. On voiding of the placenta, the latter is discarded. When healing of the umbilical cord to the infant is achieved, that clamp member may be removed or discarded.
