CIRCUMPLAST® DEVICE FOR NEWBORN AND CHILD CIRCUMCISION

Safest Disposable Circumcision Device

Circumplast® is clinically proven to be the safest disposable circumcision device. The device has been carefully designed for male newborns, infants and children. Emboss Medical UK manufactures and distributes Circumplast® all over the world.

Features of Circumplast® For Circumcision

• During the procedure, the glans penis is kept entirely safe as the device prevents direct contact between the external meatal opening and modern-day nappies. This feature helps to prevent meatal stenosis.

• Circumplast® has a unique design which allows ligature to be placed in multiple locations. It gives the surgeon the option to change the position or location of the ligature, if placed incorrectly or if the amount of inner mucosal membrane secured is insufficient, before the cutting of the foreskin. 

• The result of this advanced design allows the surgeon to choose the amount of foreskin to be removed by securing the ligature at any location desired.

• The proximal lip of Circumplast® allows the device to cut the mucosal skin near the coronal groove. This also prevents future adhesions of the inner mucosal lining to the penile glans and provides a superior cosmetic appearance.

• The Circumplast® handle only attaches on one side, allowing the surgeon to see the glans and external meatal opening through the device. After the circumcision, cleaning with water is easy and safe as the water can enter the ring. The glans penis is at a distance from the site of the handle detachment.

CIRCUMPLAST VS PLASTIBELL CIRCUMCISION

Circumplast® device is a cylindrical design which eliminates the migration/impaction of the ring to the shaft of the penis. In comparison, the Plastibell device has several well-known complications.

Distal Opening

The Circumplast® device is cylindrical, with the distal opening having the same diameter as the proximal opening. This feature ensures that the glans cannot be blocked in any way and eliminates any risk to it.

The Plastibell circumcision device is bell-shaped, so the distal opening has a smaller diameter than the proximal opening. The role of the distal opening is devised to act as a blockade to the penile glans. However, this has led to complications, including proximal migration of the Plastibell device. This occurs when the glans slips through the distal opening, leading to glans ischemia and possibly necrosis.

Location of Ligature

The Circumplast® circumcision device ligature can be secured at several locations and can also be used to select the amount of foreskin which needs to be removed. These locations are provided within the ribs of the device for securing the ligature. The rib prevents the ligature from migrating by acting as a static barrier. The Circumplast® circumcision device has an important feature which enables it to be inserted up to the coronal sulcus. This secures the ligature along the body of the Circumplast® device without inducing any tension in the foreskin. The combination of a rib and a distal opening completely eliminates the possibility and threat of injury from proximal migration.

The Plastibell circumcision device only provides one location to secure the ligature. The device governs the amount of foreskin to be removed, rather than the surgeon. To remove more significant amounts of foreskin, the surgeon must pull the foreskin over the device and secure the ligature once the required level is reached. This method introduces tension in the foreskin, ultimately pulling the distal opening of the Plastibell device over the glans and causing proximal migration. This can cause injury to the glans and the shaft of the penis, leading to the glans' necrosis. 

Handle of Ring

The Circumplast® device handle ensures no contact with the glans. The handle's position simplifies the surgeon's placement of the forceps to hold the foreskin in place during ligature securing. To simplify the procedure, the surgeon can place the forceps at any location along the circumference of the distal lip or handle.

The Plastibell handle is designed to provide a single location to secure the forceps, which hold the foreskin in place during ligature placement. The surgeon must place the forceps on the handle, as there are no alternative locations.

Proximal Lip of Circumplast

The Circumplast® circumcision device has a unique circumferential proximal lip at the proximal opening. This lip has several functions. First, the lip serves as a visual indicator of the device's proximal end and can be seen through the foreskin. The lip also provides a location at which the maximum amount of foreskin can be removed without inducing tension into the foreskin.
