Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of childbirth supplies technology, and in particular to an umbilical cord clamp cutter. Background Technology
[0002] Existing umbilical cord clamp cutters, as shown in patent application number CN202120650596.5, include a positioning bracket, a first hemostatic clamp, a second hemostatic clamp, and a cutting blade slidably connected to the positioning bracket. In use, the first and second hemostatic clamps are opened, the umbilical cord is inserted, and the umbilical cord is clamped by the first and second hemostatic clamps. The cutting blade slides between the first and second hemostatic clamps to cut the umbilical cord. The first hemostatic clamp remains on the infant's umbilical cord to prevent umbilical cord bleeding.
[0003] The existing first hemostatic clip is basically a rectangular structure when clamped, which is relatively large and has obvious edges on the side facing the baby. When the baby is wearing a diaper, the diaper will squeeze the first hemostatic clip, which can easily cause pressure sores on the baby's abdomen. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to solve the problem that existing umbilical cord clamps and cutters are prone to causing pressure sores, this utility model proposes an umbilical cord clamp and cutter that is less likely to cause pressure sores.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] An umbilical cord clamp cutter includes a positioning bracket, a first hemostatic clamp, and a second hemostatic clamp. Both the first and second hemostatic clamps are V-shaped structures with openable and closable front ends. The lower side of the first hemostatic clamp is fixedly connected to the positioning bracket, and the lower side of the second hemostatic clamp is detachably connected to the positioning bracket. The side of the second hemostatic clamp facing away from the first hemostatic clamp has an arc surface. When the second hemostatic clamp is closed, its cross-section is basically semi-circular, and a fabric layer is provided on the arc surface. The umbilical cord clamp cutter also includes a push rod and a cutter. The push rod is slidably connected to the positioning bracket, and the cutter is fixedly connected to the front end of the push rod and positioned between the first and second hemostatic clamps. When the push rod slides forward, the cutter cuts the umbilical cord.
[0007] With the above design, the second hemostatic clip has a rounded surface facing the baby after it is closed, which makes it less likely to injure the baby. In addition, a fabric layer is provided, which is softer and more breathable, further preventing pressure sores.
[0008] Furthermore, the second hemostatic clip includes an upper clip, a lower clip, and a buckle. The lower clip is detachably connected to the upper side of the positioning bracket. Multiple toothed grooves are provided on the upper side of the lower clip along its length. The cross-section of the lower clip is a right-angled sector. The rear end of the upper clip is hinged to the rear end of the lower clip. Multiple fixing teeth that can engage with the toothed grooves are provided on the lower side of the upper clip along its length. The buckle is located on the front end of the lower clip near the first hemostatic clip. After the lower clip and the upper clip are closed, they are detachably connected together by the buckle.
[0009] With the above setup, the second hemostatic clip provides better hemostasis and tightens the umbilical cord more effectively. The buckle is located on the side of the second hemostatic clip closest to the first, ensuring it doesn't contact the infant and further improving comfort.
[0010] The lower clamp of this application can be detachably connected to the positioning bracket via an interference fit structure or a locking structure. After the upper and lower clamps clamp the umbilical cord, the toothed grooves and fixing teeth increase the clamping reliability, and the buckle prevents the upper and lower clamps from opening. When the second hemostatic clamp is left on the umbilical cord, the buckle is located on the side of the second hemostatic clamp away from the baby, so it will not press on the baby, further improving the baby's comfort.
[0011] Furthermore, a slot is provided on the side of the upper clamp near the first hemostatic clamp. The buckle includes a connecting rod that is vertically fixed to the lower clamp and a clip head that is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting rod. The upper side of the clip head is chamfered so that the clip head can be inserted into the slot.
[0012] The above settings facilitate the opening and closing of the second hemostatic clamp.
[0013] Furthermore, the positioning bracket includes a base, with the lower side of the first hemostatic clamp fixedly connected to the upper side of the base. The upper side of the base is provided with a groove that matches the lower side of the lower clamp, and the lower side of the lower clamp is embedded in the groove. The positioning bracket also includes a support plate that is vertically fixedly connected to the rear end of the base, and a locking member for locking the lower clamp in the groove. A push rod passes through the support plate and is slidably connected to the support plate.
[0014] With the above settings, the second hemostatic clamp has better stability on the base. After tightening the locking part, the second hemostatic clamp can be fixed on the base. After loosening the locking part, the second hemostatic clamp can be separated from the base, making it very convenient to assemble and disassemble the second hemostatic clamp. The support plate supports the push rod, making the push rod's back and forth movement more stable, thereby improving the stability of the cutter and thus improving the safety of cutting the umbilical cord.
[0015] Furthermore, the locking element is a wing bolt, which is threaded onto the front end of the base and abuts against the front end of the lower clamping plate.
[0016] The above settings allow for easy manual rotation of the locking mechanism.
[0017] Furthermore, the fabric layer is made of pure cotton.
[0018] The above settings ensure the softness, breathability, and safety of the fabric layer.
[0019] Furthermore, the second hemostatic clip is made of a one-piece molded plastic structure. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an umbilical cord clamp cutter includes a positioning bracket 3, a first hemostatic clamp 4, and a second hemostatic clamp 5. Both the first hemostatic clamp 4 and the second hemostatic clamp 5 are V-shaped structures with openable and closable front ends. The lower side of the first hemostatic clamp 4 is fixedly connected to the positioning bracket 3, and the lower side of the second hemostatic clamp 5 is detachably connected to the positioning bracket 3. The side of the second hemostatic clamp 5 facing away from the first hemostatic clamp 4 is provided with an arc surface. After the second hemostatic clamp 5 is closed, the cross-section of the second hemostatic clamp 5 is basically semi-circular, and a fabric layer 6 is provided on the arc surface. The umbilical cord clamp cutter also includes a push rod 7 and a cutter 8. The push rod 7 is slidably connected to the positioning bracket 3, and the cutter 8 is fixedly connected to the front end of the push rod 7 and is positioned between the first hemostatic clamp 4 and the second hemostatic clamp 5. The push rod 7 slides forward, and the cutter 8 cuts the umbilical cord.
[0026] With the above settings, after the second hemostatic clip 5 is closed, the side facing the baby is rounded, which makes it less likely to injure the baby. In addition, a fabric layer 6 is set, which is softer and more breathable, further preventing pressure sores.
[0027] The positioning bracket 3 of this application is made of plastic, which is lightweight and easy to hold. The openings of the first hemostatic clip 4 and the second hemostatic clip 5 face forward and away from the push rod 7, making it convenient to place the umbilical cord into the first hemostatic clip 4 and the second hemostatic clip 5. The first hemostatic clip 4 can refer to the hemostatic clips of existing umbilical cord clamp cutters, or it can have the same structure as the second hemostatic clip 5. In use, the second hemostatic clip 5 is located on the side of the first hemostatic clip 4 closest to the infant's umbilical ring 400, that is, the arc surface of the second hemostatic clip 5 faces the infant's umbilical ring. First, place the second hemostatic clip 5 into the first hemostatic clip 4. Closing hemostatic clip 5, then closing the first hemostatic clip 4, the first hemostatic clip 4 and the second hemostatic clip 5 clamp the umbilical cord tightly. A channel extending forward and backward exists between the first hemostatic clip 4 and the second hemostatic clip 5. Manually pushing the push rod 7 forward, the push rod 7 drives the cutter 8 to move forward along the channel, cutting the umbilical cord. Then, opening the first hemostatic clip 4, while the second hemostatic clip 5 remains closed. After the positioning bracket 3 separates from the second hemostatic clip 5, the second hemostatic clip 5 remains on the infant's umbilical cord 300, serving to stop the bleeding. Figure 4 As shown, at this time, the cross-section of the closed second hemostatic clip 5 is basically semi-circular. The arc surface of the second hemostatic clip 5 faces the baby, with fewer sharp edges. When the arc surface squeezes the baby, the discomfort is less. In addition, a fabric layer 6 is provided on the arc surface. The fabric layer 6 is soft and breathable, further preventing the formation of pressure sores.
[0028] As one implementation, the second hemostatic clip 5 includes an upper clip 51, a lower clip 52, and a buckle 53. The lower clip 52 is detachably connected to the upper side of the positioning bracket 3. Multiple toothed grooves 54 are provided on the upper side of the lower clip 52 along the length direction. The cross-section of the lower clip 52 is a right-angled sector. The rear end of the upper clip 51 is hinged to the rear end of the lower clip 52. Multiple fixing teeth 55 that can engage with the toothed grooves 54 are provided on the lower side of the upper clip 51 along the length direction. The buckle 53 is located on the front end of the lower clip 52 near the first hemostatic clip 4. After the lower clip 52 and the upper clip 51 are closed, they are detachably connected together by the buckle 53.
[0029] With the above settings, the second hemostatic clip 5 has a good hemostatic effect and a better umbilical cord clamping effect. The buckle 53 is located on the side of the second hemostatic clip 5 close to the first hemostatic clip 4. The buckle 53 will not come into contact with the baby, further improving comfort.
[0030] The lower clamp 52 of this application can be detachably connected to the positioning bracket 3 via an interference fit structure or a locking structure. After the upper clamp 51 and the lower clamp 52 clamp the umbilical cord, the toothed groove 54 and the fixing tooth 55 increase the clamping reliability, and the buckle 53 prevents the upper clamp 51 and the lower clamp 52 from opening. When the second hemostatic clamp 5 is left on the umbilical cord, the buckle 53 is located on the side of the second hemostatic clamp 5 away from the baby, so it will not press on the baby, further improving the baby's comfort.
[0031] As one implementation, the upper clamp 51 is provided with a slot 56 on the side near the first hemostatic clamp 4. The buckle 53 includes a connecting rod 531 that is vertically fixedly connected to the lower clamp 52, and a clamp head 532 that is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting rod 531. The upper side of the clamp head 532 is provided with a chamfer 533 so that the clamp head 532 can be inserted into the slot 56.
[0032] The above settings facilitate the opening and closing of the second hemostatic clip 5.
[0033] The connecting rod 531 of this application is made of elastic materials such as plastic. When the second hemostatic clamp 5 is closed, the upper clamp 51 rotates downward and contacts the chamfer 533. When the upper clamp 51 is pressed downward, the upper clamp 51 presses against the chamfer 533, and the upper end of the connecting rod 531 bends elastically toward the first hemostatic clamp 4. After the upper clamp 51 and the lower clamp 52 clamp the umbilical cord, the connecting rod 531 springs back, and the clamp head 532 is inserted into the groove 56 to prevent the second hemostatic clamp 5 from opening. When it is necessary to remove the second hemostatic clamp 5, the clamp head 532 can be pried out of the groove 56 with a fingernail, and the upper clamp 51 can be opened upward.
[0034] As one implementation, the positioning bracket 3 includes a base 31, with the lower side of the first hemostatic clamp 4 fixedly connected to the upper side of the base 31. The upper side of the base 31 is provided with a groove that matches the lower side of the lower clamp 52, and the lower side of the lower clamp 52 is embedded in the groove. The positioning bracket 3 also includes a support plate 32 that is vertically fixedly connected to the rear end of the base 31, and a locking member 33 for locking the lower clamp 52 in the groove. The push rod 7 passes through the support plate 32 and is slidably connected to the support plate 32.
[0035] With the above settings, the second hemostatic clip 5 has better stability on the base 31. After tightening the locking part 33, the second hemostatic clip 5 can be fixed on the base 31. After loosening the locking part 33, the second hemostatic clip 5 can be separated from the base 31. It is very convenient to assemble and disassemble the second hemostatic clip 5. The support plate 32 supports the push rod 7, making the back-and-forth movement of the push rod 7 more stable, thereby improving the stability of the cutter 8 and thus improving the safety of cutting the umbilical cord.
[0036] As one implementation, the locking element 33 is set as a wing bolt, which is threadedly connected to the front end of the base 31 and abuts against the front end of the lower clamping plate 52.
[0037] The above settings facilitate manual rotation of the locking element 33.
[0038] As one way to achieve this, the material of fabric layer 6 is set to pure cotton.
[0039] The above settings ensure the softness, breathability, and safety of fabric layer 6.
[0040] As one implementation method, the second hemostatic clip 5 is made of a one-piece molded plastic structure.
[0041] Plastic has good safety and elasticity, reducing the risk of infection. The lower clamping plate 52 and the upper clamping plate 51 are connected by a thin plastic layer at their rear ends, allowing the lower clamping plate 52 and the upper clamping plate 51 to rotate freely relative to each other, while ensuring a reliable connection between the lower clamping plates 52 and the upper clamping plate 51.
[0042] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or modifications based on the above description, and all such improvements and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
