The curved, blunt blades are tailored to prevent injury, while the medical-grade stainless steel construction guarantees sterility and longevity. These scissors play a pivotal role in reducing infection risks and promoting a safe delivery process.

How to Use the Umbilical Cord Scissors

If you are in an emergency birth situation, here is general guidance on how to use the umbilical cord scissors:

  1. Ensure that the umbilical cord has ceased pulsing, as typically advised by the practitioner.
  2. Apply two clamps to the umbilical cord at the appropriate distance.
  3. Position a piece of sterile gauze beneath the section of the cord to be cut to absorb any blood and reduce splatter.
  4. Cut between the two clamps using the sterile umbilical cord scissors. The cord may be surprisingly dense and require firm pressure.
  5. After cutting, gently dab away any excess blood from the area. The volume of blood can vary depending on the timing of the cut post-delivery.
  6. Once finished, safely place the scissors aside, or return them to the assisting healthcare professional.

The Versatility of Celox Granules in Wound Care

Military-icon-80px

Tailored for High-Risk Scenarios

Celox Haemostatic Granules are primarily designed for use in high-risk, life-threatening situations where rapid bleeding control is crucial. They have demonstrated effectiveness in managing severe bleeding, be it from a traumatic injury or in a surgical setting. This makes them an invaluable addition to first-aid kits for environments such as hospitals, emergency medical services, military combat zones, and other high-risk scenarios.

Irregular-Wound-Icon-80px-transparent-V2

Using Celox for Complex and Irregular Wounds

Traditional methods of stopping bleeding can be ineffective on irregularly shaped or puncture wounds. Celox Haemostatic Granules, on the other hand, excel in such scenarios.

Wipe-icon-80px-transparent

Removing Celox Post-Application: An Easy Process

The convenience of Celox doesn't stop at the application. Once the bleeding has been controlled, and professional medical attention is available, the granules can be easily removed. The granules are designed to form a gel-like clot that adheres to the wound surface. This clot can be gently rinsed or wiped away with sterile water or saline solution, leaving no residue and minimising any discomfort during the cleaning process.

What's in this kit?

This kit is based on our best-selling HSE First Aid Kit, which was made especially for low-risk businesses to take care of all their first aid needs in one go. The items in this kit are recommended by the Health and Safety Executive to ensure regular businesses without any outstanding risks are covered and compliant with health and safety laws.
