ABSTRACT:
A unique circumcision device is disclosed which facilitates cutting of the foreskin of the penis and promotes complete healing of the incision without recourse to sutures and can be performed by one person without assistance.
The device in its preferred form compresses in combination a male member which covers the head of the penis and has frictionally attached at one end a ring having an annular groove therein, a female member which fits over the shaft of the penis which compresses a plastic ring having a flexible wall such that its inside diameter can be increased or diminished in response to external compressive force exerted therein or removed therefrom.
The male member is inserted and fits under the foreskin and the female member over the foreskin so that the plastic ring of the female member can be moved up to a positon in register which superimposes it over the ring on the male member underneath the foreskin with the foreskin caught in between the two. An external compression member initially surrounds the plastic flexible ring of the female member and after the inner and outer rings are in register the compression member is removed from the female ring member causing the plastic outer ring of the female member to shrink in diameter and compress the tissue of the foreskin against the shaft of the penis while the excess foreskin is surgically excised.
