ABSTRACT:
A circumcision device is provided which comprises: a ring having a tapered interior surface, an open anterior end, an anterior opening defined by the interior surface at the anterior end, an open posterior end, a posterior opening defined by the interior surface at the posterior end which is larger than the anterior opening, a longitudinal axis extending between and through the anterior and posterior openings, an exterior surface, and a groove circumferentially defined around the exterior surface adjacent to the anterior end; a bridge extending over the anterior opening and fixedly connected to the anterior end at circumferentially spaced points thereof; and a handle fixedly but frangibly connected to the bridge at a junction between the handle and bridge, the handle extending longitudinally and outwardly from the junction and being structurally weaker at and adjacent to the junction than any other portion of the handle to thereby make the handle readily breakable and detachable from the bridge at the junction. After the circumcision device is properly positioned and prepared for circumcision of a penis, the bridge (remaining connected to the ring) acts as an obstruction to the glans of the penis to thereby prevent excessive protrusion thereof from the anterior end of the ring, consequently avoiding various complications associated with excessive protrusion of the glans.
