A muka Pito Tie is used to tie off the umbilical cord instead of using a plastic cord clamp.
 
Benefits of using a muka Pito Tie:
- it is a natural product (made from fibres of the whā harakeke - NZ flax leaf) which has no environmental impact, and is plentiful in NZ
- it has it's own antiseptic qualities in the sap of the harakeke
- it is not bulky and doesn't get in the way of changing or bathing pēpe
 
Harakeke is hauhake (harvested), muka hāro (fibre extracted) and miro (twined) by hand to make whenu (cord).
