Cord sections should be no thicker than 4mm. | A membrane roll is created by cutting a strip, about 3 cm wide, of membrane, from the rupture site to the placental insertion. Hold the edge with forceps and roll it around the forceps, and then cut a transverse section of the roll.<br>Cord sections should be no thicker than 4mm. | ||
