ABSTRACT:
An umbilical cord cutting and clamping device includes first and second clamps held in a side-by-side abutting relation. Each clamp includes first and second arms hingeably connected at a first end, and gripping surfaces arranged on the interior of the arms. A blade is attached to the first arm of the first clamp and project into a space between the arms thereof. A pair of side splash guards are attached to abutting first arms on either side of the blade. A pair of front splash guards are attached to the second ends of the second arms and extend toward the first arms. When the clamps are closed around an umbilical cord, the cord is simultaneously clamped by the gripping surfaces and severed by the blade. The splash guards prevent blood from splashing onto surrounding persons when the umbilical cord is severed. The clamps are separable after clamping onto and severing the umbilical cord, so that the baby and the placenta can be separated.
