Sklar Umbilical Scissors are non-ratcheted, finger ring scissors used for cutting the umbilical cord. These scissors feature wide, flat, curved blades. They are typically used without clamping the umbilical cord because the curvature of the blades holds the cord in place. Today the umbilical cord is often clamped at two points and cut in the middle with standard scissors. This product is 4 inches long.
