SERVICES & RESEARCH

“The unique multi rib design of the Circumplast device, allows the surgeon to secure the ligature at several positions.  This is not possible with Plastibell.”

At Emboss Medical “We Care”

We believe that the skills of the medical professional should dictate the effectiveness of the circumcision. We, therefore, developed the Circumplast® infant and child circumcision device, which aims to complement the skills of the medical professional in a simple and elegant way to achieve the safest circumcision outcome available.

 

Unique Design of Circumplast Device

Circumplast® has completely eliminated proximal migration risks associated with the use of Plastibell.

The following is research and evidence-based practice that we conducted in the United Kingdom, comparing Plastibell® and Circumplast® complication rates.

The mean age was 4.4 ± 0.3 months (median 1.5 months) which was studied for a period of one year. Delayed ring separation / impaction was concluded to be significantly lower in Circumplast® Circumcision (1% n=3/310) versus Plastibell circumcision (2.4% n=22/912) (p<0.05).

This study was presented in the European Society of Paediatric Urology (ESPU) in 2019.

In our re-audit, the outcome of circumcisions (n=1449) was studied over a one year period. Circumcision was performed under local anaesthesia, by trained doctors in a community clinic in the UK, doing Circumplast® circumcision (CC) (n=470) and Plastibell circumcision (PC) (n=979).

The mean age was 6.5± 0.4 months (median 1.6). Ring impaction was concluded to be significantly lower in Circumplast® circumcision (0.4% n=2/470) versus Plastibell circumcision (3.4% n=33/979) (p<0.05). Significant improvement from the previous audit {CC (3.2% n=7/208) versus PC (8.7% n=102/1179) (ESPU2016)} was observed.

This study was also presented in the European Society of Paediatric Urology (ESPU) in 2018.
