606120000 | Umbilical clamp | 11 |
20080287960 | Umbilical cord clamp and cutter - An umbilical cord clamping and cutting device assembled within opposing shields for minimizing the spray of blood during severing of the umbilical cord. | 11-20-2008 |
20090292295 | Umbilical cord ligature device - An umbilical cord ligature device comprising a flexible latex ligature that is pre-assembled on a semi-rigid plastic ring. The umbilical cord is slipped through the device to a point close to the baby's abdominal wall, and with a twist of fingers, the latex ligature is then released from the ring over the umbilical cord, where it stays compressing the cord until it dehydrates and falls off. The pressure that the ligature exerts around the umbilical cord during its dehydration period makes hemorrhages virtually impossible. | 11-26-2009 |
20100137877 | Combined Umbilical Cord Cutter, Clamp, and Disinfectant - Provided is a combined umbilical cord clamp, cutter, disinfectant, and data collecting system which reduces the risk of cord infections due to unsanitary birth conditions. Also provided is an identification system which aids in the collection of birth statistics. | 06-03-2010 |
20100211080 | UMBILIGUARD - The present invention relates to an infant supervision device featuring an umbilical cord clamp having a hinge, jaws and a locking mechanism. The present invention also contains a wire or a strip of conducting material that runs through the jaws and the hinge and that forms a current carrying circuit as soon as terminals within the locking mechanism are linked, which occurs when the clamp is closed. The clamp has a first end with a hinge and a second end having a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism contains a sensor, which may be an active or passive transmitter, a receiver or a magnet. The sensor is capable of communicating with an external detection device, and alert child care monitors in an event that the clamp is broken or cut, or if an infant wearing the present invention is carried beyond the secure perimeter covered by the external detection device. The clamp may also be able to send out positioning and health related information to the external detection device by using micro waves, radio waive, ultra-sound waives or by communicating with a wireless network. | 08-19-2010 |
20110054489 | One stroke double grip umbiilcal cord clamps - The One Stroke Double Grip Umbilical Cord Clamps comprises a specially designed three-in-one clamping tool boasting integrated cutting blades designed specifically to clamp and cut through an umbilical cord, simultaneously. Manufactured primarily of heavy duty plastic and surgical grade metal material, the One Stroke Double Grip Umbilical Cord Clamps comprises a three piece unit comprised of three, individual clamps positioned side by side and removably attached to one another. The novel feature of the One Stroke Double Grip Umbilical Cord Clamps is found in the center clamp. Lining the jaws of this clamp are two, sharpened, surgical stainless steel cutting blades designed to effortlessly slice through the umbilical cord, as it is snapped closed. As mentioned, this center clamp is removably attached to the outer clamps, thus enabling the caregiver to easily “break away” the cutting clamp, leaving the outer clamps securely attached to the umbilical cord stump and placenta cord, respectively. | 03-03-2011 |
20120303042 | Methods, Devices and Systems for the Prevention of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and the Diagnosis and Treatment of Infants Predisposed to SIDS - Methods and systems for preventing the underlying anatomical cause that gives rise to a predisposition to SIDS are provided. Methods and systems are provided for the diagnosis of infants predisposed to SIDS. Methods and systems are provided for the therapeutic treatment of infants predisposed to SIDS. A treatment device includes an auditory stimulation system, a monitoring system, a warming system and a response system that can respond to and alleviate crisis situations. | 11-29-2012 |
20140236170 | MULTI-COMPONENT DETACHABLE JAW TOOLS AND METHODS OF USING AND MAKING SAME - Provided is a jaw tool formed from two separable units and which includes a fastening device that attaches the two units together when the jaw tool is in use and which may automatically separate the units after the device performs its function such as clamping and/or cutting. Also provided is a jaw tool having a cutting blade wherein the contours of the device are shaped so that force is concentrated on the cutting bade when the device is closed. The jaw tool may be manufactured from a single injection molded-component that is used in duplicate to form the jaw tool. The jaw tool may be used in various applications in which it may be beneficial to simultaneously clamp and cut an object, such as various medical applications including vascular, gastrointestinal, respiratory, and placental. | 08-21-2014 |
20140276917 | Kit for clamping an umbilical cord safely and for preventing misidentification and unauthorized removal of a newborn - The present disclosure relates to a kit comprising numbered and unnumbered umbilical cord clamps and matching numbered wristbands. The unnumbered clamps are for initial clamping of the umbilical cord immediately after the birth and are distinguished from the numbered clamps by size, shape and/or by color. The unnumbered clamps are most preferably of gender neutral color, such as yellow. The numbered clamps may be white or may be of color indicating the newborn's gender. The numbered clamps are used to reclamp the umbilical cord below the unnumbered clamp after the newborn is cleaned. The unnumbered clamp is cut off and disposed once the numbered clamp is in its place. The wristbands have the same numbers as the numbered clamps. Two wristbands are attached to the newborn, one wristband is for the mother and one wristband may be for the significant other. The newborn may not be removed from a defined area without the numbers in the wristbands and on the clamp matching. The clamp and the wristbands may have additional security codes. An alarm may be triggered if the numbers in the clamp and the wristband are not matching when the newborn is removed from the defined area. | 09-18-2014 |
20150112358 | UMBILICAL CORD DRESSING - The present disclosure is directed to a novel way of dressing the umbilical cord stump of a newborn. In one aspect of the invention, the umbilical dressing cap is washable and reusable, and made to fit securely onto an umbilical cord clip to provide a clean and dry environment for the cord stump. In another aspect of the invention, the dressing is configured to receive printing to help identify the newborn. In yet another aspect of the invention, the dressing cap advantageously provides support for a flaccid cord stump. | 04-23-2015 |
20150142008 | CLAMPING STRUCTURE FOR UMBILICAL CORD - A clamping structure for umbilical cord includes a body formed as bar shaped. The lateral surface of the body includes a rack section formed by engaging teeth distantly and straightly aligned. The rack section further includes sharp teeth protruded from the lateral surface. A head portion is assembled to one of two ends of the body and a buckling hole is defined thereon. An engaging structure is assembled in the buckling hole, and a recessed rail is disposed at the engaging structure. When the other end of the body is inserted into the buckling hole, the body forms a ring with the lateral surface defined as an inner wall thereof, the engaging teeth are engaged with the engaging structure, and each sharp teeth is extended toward an interior of the ring to pass through the recessed rail so as to fasten an umbilical cord securely. | 05-21-2015 |
20150359538 | COMPRESSIBLE STRUCTURE CLAMPING AND CUTTING DEVICE - A device for clamping and severing a compressible structure includes a clamp assembly and a cutting assembly. The clamp assembly has first second identical clamps coupled together to define a gap therebetween with posts spanning the gap. Each clamp has a pair of arms hingedly coupled to one another at first ends thereof and lockable to one another at second ends thereof. The clamp assembly defines an open position when the second ends of the arms are separated from one another and a clamped position when the second ends of the arms are locked to one another. The cutting assembly supports the clamp assembly in its open position and places the clamp assembly in its clamped position. The cutting assembly includes a convexly-curved cutting blade that passes through the clamp assembly's gap when the clamp assembly is in its closed position to cut through the posts spanning the gap. | 12-17-2015 |
