Description

FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a male circumcision tool set, shown with the smaller ring, the black elastic ring, and the larger ring showing my design;

FIG. 2 is a top view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a front perspective view of a male circumcision tool set, shown with the black elastic ring mounted on the smaller ring and the larger ring;

FIG. 4 is a top view thereof; and,

FIG. 5 is a front perspective view of a male circumcision tool set, shown with the smaller ring and the black elastic ring mounted on the larger ring.

The intended use of the design is a set of three pieces (a smaller ring, a black elastic ring, and a larger ring having four legs) which serve, two pieces used at a time, as a circumcision tool set.

The process of the circumcision starts by applying the larger ring on the organ with the black ring tensed on the legs of the larger ring. The smaller ring is then inserted inside the foreskin and the black rubber ring is carefully removed from the larger ring so that the foreskin is located between the black elastic ring and the smaller ring. In this way pressure is applied to eventually cause necrosis of the foreskin. About a week later, the dead skin is removed and the black elastic ring and the small ring are removed to complete the circumcision.
