CIRCUMPLUST
Circumplast is the safest disposable circumcision device for male newborns and infants.
The Circumplast device is a single-use sterile circumcision device made from plastic and comes with a ligature. The Circumplast device is sterilised using Ethylene Oxide and is currently available
in four sizes: 9.5 mm, 11 mm, 12 mm and 13 mm. The size indicates the inner diameter of the device, which is inserted over the glans of the penis. Circumplast is safer than Plastibell.
FEATURES Of CIRCUMPLUST
The glans the penis is kept completely safe throughout the entire procedure. This helps to prevent direct contact between the external meatal opening and modern-day nappies, which could prevent meatal stenosis.
Circumplast is unique in its ability to allow for multiple locations. The result of this innovative design allows the surgeon to simply choose the amount of foreskin to be removed by securing the ligature at any location desired.
The proximal tip of the device helps to cut the inner mucosal skin very close to the coronal groove, which also prevents future adhesion of inner mucosal skin to the glans of the penis and gives a better cosmetic appearance.
The handle of the Circumplast is designed in such a way as to ensure the surgeon can see the glans. The proximal lip of the Circumplast is also visible through the skin and provides a visual indicator to ensure the correct positioning of the device. The surgeon can change the ligature's location if it is placed incorrectly or if the amount of inner mucosal membrane secured is insufficient before the cutting of the foreskin. Cleaning the penis
post-circumcision is safe, as water can enter the cavity between the Circumplast and the glans.
