What Is the Umbilical Tape Used For?
Umbilical tape is a ligature thread for tying off the umbilical cord. A braided, flat cotton tape was selected for this job because it avoids damaging the cord and keeps knots from coming undone – the product notes specifically advise against monofilament, round or thin ligature thread.
The roll is delivered non-sterile, so the usual routine is to cut lengths in advance, pack them and sterilise them in a steam steriliser before they go to the delivery room. A single 50 m roll yields many ties. Hospitals that source instruments and autoclaves from one laboratory equipment supplier in India can add umbilical tape to the same order.
