Abstract: A circumcision clamp system and related methods of use. The clamp system includes an inner ring that is placed under the foreskin proximate to the corona of the glans penis, and an outer ring that clamps the foreskin against the inner ring. In an embodiment suitable for necrotic circumcisions, the inner and outer rings include one or more break-off sections that enable a clinician to adjust the diameter of the clamp accordingly. The inner ring includes a key and lock arrangement that ensures the inner ring maintains a circular shape by denying all degrees of freedom to the joined sections thereof. The outer ring includes a plurality of clamping members extending radially inward from an inner surface thereof. In some embodiments, the outer ring includes castellations that work in cooperation with longitudinal grooves in the inner ring to aid in suture placement.

Abstract: A method for testing body fluids is disclosed. The method includes providing a media-dispensing apparatus, placing at least the distal opening of the elongated tubular member adjacent body fluid (e.g., near a patient's abdomen) or adjacent a medical device such that a portion of the media strip contacts body fluid or the medical device, and advancing the media strip such that the portion of the media strip that contacted the body fluid or the medical device advances at least through the second lumen. Additionally, the step of cutting the media strip with a cutting instrument is also disclosed.

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.
