SUPPORT ELEMENT FOR CIRCUMCISION AND SYSTEM COMPRISING THE SAME

摘要

The present disclosure provides a support element (110) for use in effecting ischemic necrosis in a foreskin of a penis, being a closed-loop member defining an opening dimensioned to permit a penis glans to pass therethrough and having an inner surface and an outer surface; the outer surface comprising a circumferential support (118) for an elastic ring (150) to be mounted thereon, said circumferential support being formed within a groove (120) in at least part of the outer surface; at least one first segment of the outer surface having an outer curvature of a radius larger than that of its flanking second segments. Also provided herein is a system (100) for effecting ischemic necrosis in a foreskin of a penis, comprising the support element (110) and elastic ring (150), and optionally a deployment element (160) for mounting the elastic ring over the foreskin and support element.
