umbilical cord clamp
An umbilical cord clamp is a medical device used to clamp off the umbilical cord shortly after childbirth. The umbilical cord is the lifeline between the fetus and the placenta during pregnancy, supplying oxygen and nutrients to the developing baby. After birth, the umbilical cord is no longer needed, and it is typically clamped and cut to separate the newborn from the placenta.
