  • Patent number: 5269788
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a circumcision dressing, adjustable in circumference, which is placed around the subglanular or subcoronal region of a penis on its mucosal aspect. The dressing comprises an inner arcuate member, or ring, which is adapted to be positioned between the prepuce and shaft of the penis parallel to the corona of the glans. This inner ring is discontinuous, preferably at its dorsal aspect, to allow for insertion of an elongate hollow connector piece to increase circumference for different sized penises, and is made from polymer, rubber, or metal. If desired, the inner ring may bear a guard flange which extends anteriorly beneath the prepuce to protect the penis from injury during the circumcision procedure. After this first ring is applied to the mucosal aspect of the prepuce with the foreskin retracted, the prepuce is reduced, or pulled forward. A second ring, or outer arcuate member, of polymer, rubber, or metal is then applied.
