A simple device for circumcision.

Several sizes of plastic cap were designed and made to fit the vertex of the penile glans. The foreskin is prepared in the usual manner, the glans capped with the specially made plastic cap and the foreskin pulled forwards over the cap. A crushing or non-crushing forceps is applied across the foreskin. The plastic cap separates the glans from the clamp, and its unwanted portion is cut with a knife without fear of injuries in the glans. We find this method to be safe even if it is used by a surgeon with limited experience.
