The Plastibell Circumcision Device is a small, clear plastic ring used to perform circumcision in newborn male infants. It’s a safe, commonly used method that involves placing the ring over the glans of the penis and tying a ligature around the foreskin to cut off its blood supply. Over a few days, the foreskin falls off along with the ring—usually within 5 to 10 days.
Key Features of the Plastibell Device:
Material – Clear medical-grade plastic, non-toxic and disposable.
Sizes – Available in various sizes to fit different newborn anatomy.
Ligature Groove – Special groove to hold the surgical string in place securely.
Bloodless Procedure – The tight ligature reduces or eliminates bleeding.
Stitch-Free – No need for sutures or surgical closure.
Self-Removing – The ring falls off naturally as healing progresses.
Minimally Invasive – Simple, quick outpatient procedure (often under 10 minutes).
