How is the cord blood collected using the Joey Spray Guard?
After clamping and separation of the Joey Clamp, the umbilical cord may be cut proximal to the cutting unit, dropping it into the kick-bucket. The sample is then collected from the open vessels of the cord. If cord blood is drawn with a needle and syringe, the Joey cutter housing (maternal clamp) acts as a very easy and safe method for holding the cord and drawing blood. If a cord sample is needed, the maternal clamp may be left in place and another clamp is placed proximal to it at the desired section.
