An apparatus for clamping and severing an umbilical cord or other elongated member, wherein a pair of clamps are held and positioned by a clamp carrier. A separate plunger member having severing blades mounted thereon operably cooperates with the clamp carrier by being received for slidable translation therein to effect severing. As the plunger is slid forwardly for severing operation, the pair of clamps are automatically released from the clamp carrier. The severing blades remain safely contained at all times within the clamp carrier throughout the operation.
