Abstract: A portable back rest is provided having a U-shaped frame formed from two vertical segments joined with a horizontal segment. Points on the end of each vertical segment are adapted to pierce and become submerged in soil or sand and hold the frame upright where the horizontal segment will support fabric such as a towel as a back support. Fins may be positioned adjacent the points on the ends of the vertical segments to further stabilize their engagement with soil or sand and provide a contact point for a foot during insertion.

Abstract: A circumcision clamp and surgical kit including a rod having a bell-shaped member at a first end for receiving the head of a penis and an engagement structure at an opposing end; a base including: two arms, the arms include at least three upwardly tapered apertures aligned along an arc and having unequal diameters, wherein each upward taper is complementary to the bell-shaped member, at least three fulcrum recesses aligned along an arc and in radial alignment with the at least three apertures; a lever including: a proximal end in radial alignment with the at least three apertures and the at least three fulcrum recesses, a distal end including a fulcrum foot complementary to the at least three fulcrum recesses and adapted for engagement with the engagement structure of the rod.

Abstract: A circumcision clamp and surgical kit including a rod having a bell-shaped member at a first end for receiving the head of a penis and an engagement structure at an opposing end; a base including: two hinged arms, wherein when closed the arms include at least three upwardly tapered apertures aligned along an arc and having unequal diameters, wherein each upward taper is complementary to the bell-shaped member, at least three fulcrum recesses aligned along an arc and in radial alignment with the at least three apertures; a lever including: a proximal end in radial alignment with the at least three apertures and the at least three fulcrum recesses, a distal end including a fulcrum foot complementary to the at least three fulcrum recesses and adapted for engagement with the engagement structure of the rod; and an adjustment structure for raising and lowering an engaged rod by pivoting the lever at one of the at least three fulcrum recesses.

Abstract: A circumcision clamp and surgical kit according to the present invention includes a rod, a base, and an actuating structure. The rod is elongated and includes a bell-shaped member as well as an engagement structure. The base of the device includes two arms hinged at their distal ends, and capable of reversible engagement at their proximal ends. When closed, the arms form at least two rimmed apertures, positioned in close proximity are arrayed recesses capable of engaging the actuating structure. The actuating structure includes two members hinged such that when their proximal ends are brought together, their distal ends are opposed. The device of the present invention offers enhanced safety, simplicity, ease of use, and cost effectiveness. The device according to this invention is also part of a pre-sterilized circumcision kit for use during the circumcision procedure.
