Umbilical Care is an L-shaped silicon cord clip used to test the bacterial infection at baby’s cord. Via the “histamine testing sticker” attached on a hollow chamber of Umbilical Care which can react with the histamine produced by bacteria, medical staff and mothers can deal with cord infection when an orange sad face is shown. It is an efficient way to prevent infection and reduce the staff’s burden. The L-shaped design allows staff to measure the safety distance to chip on, which makes the operation efficient and makes extra room for Umbilical Arterial Catheter operation in the future.

| Issues found |2 to 3 million babies die within 1 month after birth, and most of them die for the complication of cord bacterial infection, infective pneumonia and sepsis. Each medical professional has to take care of 4.5 babies on average at once, so they probably cannot check the cord's condition one by one; and new mothers are lack of experiences. Mothers from countries with poverty and low medical standard are hard to learn the health condition of the newborns.

| An analysis on existing products |

1.The function is limited and the only function is to close the wound and limit bacteria access

2.Cheap, scratching plastics are used as material and can easily increase the risk of infection

| Application |

When the cord is infected, histamine is produced. The "histamine testing sticker" is highly sensitive to histamine, and through the high sensitivity to histamine, the overgrowth of bacteria on cord can be tested in very short time.

| The chamber |

The chamber on the clip increases the room between the sticker and the cords, for better and more accurate histamine testing result.

| L-shaped design |

The L-shaped arm is about 3.5-4 cm, and it turns the old straight up and down clipping into 90 degree transformed clipping, which allows medical professionals to measure the distance accurately, leaving extra room for Umbilical Arterial Catheter in the future.

| Situational procedure (delivery) \

| STEP1 |Approach a clip to the base of the cord, leaving a 4 cm gap, and keep the cord at the center of the chamber.
| STEP2 |Flap the clip up to 90 degree until the "click" sound is heard, and confirm it is clipped nicely and tight.
| STEP3 |Stick a new sticker over the chamber.
| Situational procedures (care-taker)|| STEP1 |When medical professionals or the mother see the color change on the stick, they know bacterial overgrowth on the cord.
| STEP2 |Use ethanol to disinfect the cord immediately.
| STEP3 |Get rid of the old sticker and stick over a new sticker instead.
