The KANE clamp: robustness and safety for umbilical cord care
The KANE clamp from Frimed is an obstetric instrument designed for ligating the umbilical cord after birth. Its stainless steel construction makes it remarkably durable, which is essential for repeated professional use in medical environments such as hospitals, maternity wards and clinics. Its length of 8.5 cm allows for easy handling and precise positioning, ensuring effective closure without the risk of slipping.
Thanks to its anatomical design, the KANE clamp features two rounded hook-shaped arms designed to exert constant, uniform pressure on the umbilical cord while reducing the risk of injury. This configuration ensures immediate haemostatic occlusion, minimising bleeding and helping to prevent neonatal infections.
This clamp is particularly popular for its ease of use. It requires no complex locking system, allowing for quick and intuitive use by healthcare personnel, even in emergency situations. Its rigid structure ensures a secure grip without deformation, even after multiple autoclave sterilisation cycles.
The KANE model fits perfectly into standard obstetric protocols, both in healthcare facilities and in mobile humanitarian aid devices. It can also be combined with other instruments in the Frimed range without compromising the European quality standards required for medical instruments.
The KANE umbilical clamp is a reliable solution for all healthcare professionals involved in the immediate care of newborns. Its effectiveness is based on a simple but rigorous design, conceived to optimise the safety of the medical procedure while respecting the constraints of time, hygiene and ergonomics in an obstetric context.
