An umbilical cord clipper apparatus constructed of non-metallic material having a base portion and a top portion movable between open and closed positions in relation to one another via a loop hinge on their common end portion. The apparatus further comprises first and second recesses in the base and top portion for positioning of an umbilical clamp of the type which would incorporate a pair of elongated arms and a loop portion as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,854,482. The pair of clamps are positioned with a space therebetween, so that a blade member housed in the floor of the base portion, flies intermediate the two clamp members positioned therein. Further, there is provided a pair of flexing members within the hinged loop so that the clamp when in position within the base of the apparatus are engaged against the bias of the members.
