  • Publication number: 20120109145
    Abstract: A circumcision device for removing excess foreskin from a penis is disclosed and includes a crown and a clamp. The crown is oval in shape and defines a proximal end, a distal end, and a first series of guides extending proximally along the proximal end. Any two of the first series of guides define a gap between the two first guides. Each of the first series of guides is equally spaced about a circumference of the oval. The clamp has a first half section and a second half section. The first and second half sections are jointed together with a coupling mechanism. Each of the first half section and the second half section defines a proximal end, a distal end, a free end, a fixed end, and an arc between the free and fixed ends. A second series of guides protrude proximally along the proximal end of each leg. Any two of the second series of guides define a gap between the two second guides.

  • Publication number: 20070012728
    Abstract: A media-dispensing apparatus for testing body fluids and a method of using the same are disclosed. The apparatus includes a housing having a lower portion and an upper portion, and an elongated tubular member having a distal opening adjacent a distal end thereof. The elongated tubular member includes a first lumen within the elongated tubular member extending from the lower portion of the housing to the distal opening and includes a second lumen within the elongated tubular member extending from the upper portion of the housing to the distal opening. A media strip is dispensable from the lower portion of the housing, through the first lumen, out the distal opening of the elongated tubular member, through the second lumen and into the upper portion of the housing.
