Clamp for performing circumcisions on newborns and a method of using the same

摘要

A circumcision device is a unitary combination comprised of a body, a conical bell over which the foreskin is disposed and into which the glans is inserted, a clamping ring, and a shaft coupled to the body and to one the bell is connected. The device is made from an injection-molded plastic so that there is no need for hinges due to the resiliency of plastic. The clamping ring is split and moves between an open and closed locked position. The bell is drawn up into the locked ring to clamp the foreskin. A handle is coupled to the device to position it. A handle is coupled to the shaft for moving the shaft relative to the body. A flange is connected to a collar on the shaft to drive the clamp down onto the bell with a push of the thumb. A plurality of skin clips is coupled to one of either the body or shaft and fixed relative to the bell for temporarily holding the foreskin in place against the bell.
