Abstract
A clamping device for securing a pair of clamps to the umbilical cord of a newly born infant includes pressure plates to remove blood from the section of the cord between the clamps. Thus, there is a greatly reduced risk of infection from blood squirting out upon the cutting of the cord during delivery of the infant.
