Joey Clamp & Cutter
A one-motion umbilical cord cutting and clamping system.

The Joey Clamp is a single integrated device replacing three separate instruments required for cutting and clamping a newborn child's umbilical cord, while also preventing blood and fluid spray. It performs the surgical cutting and clamping procedure with one action, attaching a koala character to clamp the newborn's navel. This clamp is a keepsake for friends and family to admire. The device is simple for physicians, midwives, and even unskilled birthing partners who participate in the ceremonious activity of cutting the child's cord.
