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.
