Abstract
An umbilical cord clamp cutter includes first and second handle portions including a grasping end and a cutting end. The cutting end includes a notch having a beveled cutting edge disposed proximate the terminus of the cutting end. A connector pivotably connects the handle portions between the grasping and cutting ends whereby the notches oppose one another. Movement of the grasping ends toward one another causes the cutting end notches to slide past one another capturing an umbilical cord clamp allowing the umbilical cord clamp to be cut.
