  • Patent number: 5439466
    Abstract: A disposable circumcision device provides quick and accurate alignment of opposite sides of excess prepuce formed by making a dorsal and ventral incision. Two blades compress the excess prepuce against an outer surface of a raindrop ring which protects the glans penis for surgical removal of the excess prepuce. An incision is made by a needle electrode or a knife against the exterior surface of the raindrop ring. The needle electrode or knife is guided along a surface of a dull point of the blade into contact with the exterior surface of the raindrop ring. The precise alignment of the compressed prepuce between the raindrop ring and blade ensures an accurate cut with minimal excess prepuce for subsequent suturing with absorbable sutures. The two prepuce sections formed by a dorsal and ventral incision are tied off at their outermost corners and drawn outwardly by tie lines.
