  • Apparatus for performing circumcision
    Patent number: 6660012
    Abstract: A circumcision instrument has two cylindrical hollow members telescopically engageable with each other. The first cylindrical member carries a sharp blade on its proximate end; the second cylindrical member has a stapling mechanism mounted inside for stapling the circumcised foreskin and reducing bleeding. The foreskin is pushed back from the head of the penis to lie against the outer wall of the first cylindrical member; then the second cylindrical member is moved to extend in part over the cut area where tissue-absorbable staples are applied.
