Definitions
- a severable web means is secured laterally to each of said jaw members for the severable retention of the jaw members in their side-by-side relationship.
- Cutting blade means are secured to the cutting jaw and project into the bite zone of the cutting jaw, the cutting blade means being arranged to sever an umbilical cord disposed within said jaw upon the initial portion of the closure stroke, and to sever the web means upon continuation of the closure stroke.
- the clamping jaw is provided with clamping face means along the inwardly directed faces of the clamping jaw for the secure clamping of the umbilical cord upon closure and latching of the clamping jaw.
- the present invention relates generally to an improved means for simultaneously clamping and severing the umbilical cords of newly born infants, and more particularly to a means for clamping and severing such cords upon a single closure stroke of combined clamping and cutting jaws.
- the present invention relates to an improved means for the simultaneous clamping and severing of the umbilical cords of newly born infants
- the means includes a clamping jaw and a cutting jaw arranged in side-by-side relationship, and wherein a severable web means is provided which functions as an anvil for the umbilical cord during the initial portion of the closure stroke, the web means being severed by the cutting blade upon continuation and completion of the closure stroke.
- the apparatus of the present invention includes a clamping and severing means which comprises a pair of generally elongated clamping jaws arranged in side-by-side relationship, each jaw being hinged at one end, and having latch means or locking means at the other end for retention of the jaws in closed disposition.
- a severable web means secured to the lateral edges of each of the individual jaw members is employed for the severable retention of the jaw members in their side-by-side relationship.
- a cutting blade is secured to the cutting jaw portion and it is arranged to sever the umbilical cord within the jaw upon the initial closure portion of the closing stroke, the severable web means functioning as an anvil during this portion of the closure.
- the cutting blade Upon continuation of the closure stroke, the cutting blade is adapted to sever the web into two sections, thereby separating the clamping jaw from the cutting jaw, with the clamping jaw being securely clamped upon the severed end of the umbilical cord. As indicated, this is accomplished by a simple closure operation of the device, the closure being carried out on the cord member.
- an object of the present invention to provide an improved clamping and severing device for use on the umbilical cords of newly born infants, the device including a clamping jaw member and a cutting jaw member arranged in generally side-by-side relationship, the jaw members being .secured together by a severable web means which is severed upon closing of the cutting jaw member.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view, partially exploded, showing the apparatus in open disposition
- FIG. 2 is a front elevational view of the apparatus of the present invention with the device being illustrated in open disposition;
- FIG. 3 is a side elevational view of the cutting jaw portion of the apparatus shown in open disposition
- FIG. 4 is a side elevational view of the cutting jaw portion of the apparatus shown in close disposition
- FIG. 5 is a side elevational view of the cord clamping portion of the device shown after the cord has been severed.
- FIG. 6 is a top elevational view, partially exploded so as to show the disposition of the individual portions of the apparatus after severance of the interconnecting web.
- the simultaneous clamping and severing means generally designated 10 includes a generally elongated cutting jaw member 11 and a similarly formed clamping jaw 12, these jaws being hingedly secured by means of the hinge lugs 13 and 14 secured to the upper portions of the jaws 11 and 12, along with mating lug members 15 and 16 on the lower portion of the jaws l1 and 12 respectively.
- These hinge lugs are provided with independent pin members 17 and 18, pin 17 joining the cutting jaw member segments together, pin 18 joining the clamping jaw segments.
- the individual jaw members 11 and 12 are maintained in their side-by-side relationship by means of the severable web means 19, the web means 19 being shown in detail in FIGS. 2 and 3.
- Web 19 has other functions and these will be made manifest in greater detail hereinafter.
- the severing feature is performed by the cutting jaw portion 1 1, this jaw portion being provided with a cutting blade means such as the blade 20, this blade having a sharpened edge as at 21.
- Mounting means such as the rivets 22 are utilized to secure the blade 20 to the upper portion of the cutting jaw l I.
- the blade 20 makes contact with the web 19, and while on its downward closure stroke, web 19 functions as an anvil prior to its being severed by the cutting blade as it moves through its closure stroke.
- the arcuate path of travel of the blade 20 carries it entirely through the cross-sectional thickness of the web means 19.
- FIGS. 1 and 3 wherein the latch means for retaining the individual jaws in closed relationship are illustrated in detail.
- the devices are provided with positive latch means which will retain the individual jaws in closed relationship once the closure stroke has been completed.
- latching jaws 24, together with complimentary latching. surfaces 25 are provided, this arrangement providing the extent of the latch mechanism necessary. It will, of course, be understood and realized that other positive latching techniques and systems may be utilized with an equal degree of success.
- both jaws be closed simultaneously.
- an overlapping flap or the like is utilized as at 27 which overlies both top surfaces of the individual jaw members.
- the clamping face have a surface which is somewhat roughened in order to avoid the inadvertent slippage of the umbilical cord retained between the jaws.
- the surface 19a of the area existing between the jaws is preferably roughened, textured, or otherwise treated with protrusions or the like in order to establish the roughened surface which will be reasonably resistant to slippage of the confined cord.
- the umbilical cord is placed within the confines of the side-by-side jaws, with the clamping jaw being arranged adjacent the newly born infant, and correspondingly, the cutting jaw arranged remote from the newly born infant.
- the cord may then be clamped and severed in one simple operation, merely by applying pressure across the faces of the jaw, the initial portion of the closure stroke being utilized to sever the umbilical cord retained therebetween, with the final portion of the stroke being utilized to sever the web means 19 which is utilized to interconnect the clamping jaw and cutting jaw.
- the web functions as an anvil for the cutting operation, and thereafter is actually severed by the sharpened edge 21 of the blade 20. As is indicated in FIG.
- the individual jaws 11 and 12 are latched or locked in closed disposition, and the jaws are no longer attached to one another.
- the clamping jaw 12 will remain in place on the infant, clamping the maternal stump as shown at 30 in FIG. 5, while the cutting jaw 11 is separated therefrom.
- the device therefore provides a simple technique for providing a clean positive cut of the cord as is desirable.
- the individual jaws are fabricated from a reasonably rigid material such as molded thermosetting compositions of poly-carbonates, polyesters, or any rigid substance acceptable for this procedure.
- the severable web is preferably fabricated from Teflon or other reasonably soft material acceptable for this purpose.
- Teflon or other reasonably soft material acceptable for this purpose.
- Other materials such as polyolefins, or the like may be utilized, the general requirement being that the material is capable of being sheared relatively easily for purposes of separation.
- the severable web from separate and distinct interconnecting elements, such as, for example, rods or the like which may be cut and separated by the blade.
- a spring bias for retaining the severing and cutting means in a normally closed disposition, such a provision also requiring, of course, means for restraining closure until such time as closure is desired.
- a wedge of fracturable, or severable material may be lodged near the pivot point in order to restrain the device against closure until desired.
- the unit may be positively closed and latched by the available spring bias.
- Means for simultaneously clamping and severing the umbilical cords of newly born infants comprising:
