A newborn cord clamp is a medical device that every newborn comes into contact with after birth. This small device plays an important role in ensuring the health of the newborn.
1.Basic function
The main function of a newborn cord clamp is to clamp the umbilical cord of a newborn baby to prevent blood loss and reduce the risk of infection. When the baby is born, the doctor or midwife usually places the clamp some distance from the abdomen and then cuts off the rest of the umbilical cord. This process is to ensure that the newborn is separated from the mother while keeping the cord clean and healthy.
2.Material and design considerations
The material and design of umbilical cord clamps are strictly regulated to ensure the safety and health of the newborn. Typically, they are made of medical plastic which is non-toxic, sterile and can withstand prolonged clamping. In addition, the design of the cord clamps is critical to ensure that they hold the cord securely while avoiding injury to the baby or the user.
3.Importance in medicine
Although the umbilical cord clamp may look simple, its role in medicine cannot be underestimated. Firstly, it ensures the safe separation of the newborn from the mother and avoids possible complications. In addition, proper clamping and cutting of the umbilical cord reduces the risk of infection and provides a healthier environment for the newborn to grow.
4.Future care of the baby's umbilical cord
Although the primary role of newborn cord clamping is for a short period of time after birth, caring for your baby's umbilical cord is an ongoing process. Parents need to ensure that the umbilical cord remains dry and clean to avoid infection. In most cases, the umbilical cord will fall off naturally within a few days to a few weeks. During this time, parents should avoid giving their babies immersion baths to prevent the umbilical cord from absorbing too much moisture.
