Abstract

A disposable circumcision apparatus, comprising, a fixture device comprising a surrounding wall, the surrounding wall comprising an opening, a blade formed along an interior surface of the surrounding wall, the blade comprising a first blade mating portion and a second blade mating portion that mate with each other when the fixture device is in a closed position, the blade further comprising a blade interior circumferential edge, a cushion ring for being positioned against the blade further comprising a groove formed along a blade interior circumferential edge, means for maintaining the fixture device in a closed position, and a balanus ferrule for placement within the cushion ring and fixture device.

Claims

1. A disposable circumcision apparatus, comprising:

a fixture device comprising a surrounding wall, the surrounding wall comprising an opening;

a blade formed along an interior surface of the surrounding wall, the blade comprising a first blade mating portion and a second blade mating portion that mate with each other when the fixture device is in a closed position, the blade further comprising a blade interior circumferential edge;

a cushion ring for being positioned against the blade further comprising a groove formed along a blade interior circumferential edge;

means for maintaining the fixture device in a closed position; and

a balanus ferrule for placement within the cushion ring and fixture device.

2. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein:

the blade further comprises a groove formed along the blade interior circumferential edge for receiving the cushion ring.

3. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein:

the cushion ring comprises a groove formed along an interior circumferential edge of the cushion ring for receiving the blade interior circumferential edge.

4. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein:

the cushion ring comprises a groove formed along an interior circumferential edge of the cushion ring and the entire blade is placed within the groove.

5. An apparatus as claimed in claims 1, wherein:

the cushion ring is made of silica-gel and the blade is made of plastic, and the cushion ring adheres to the blade through an integral formation between plastics and silica-gel.

6. An apparatus as claimed in claim 5, wherein:

the fixture device is coated with a silica-gel layer, and the silica-gel layer adheres to the fixture device through an integral formation between plastics and silica-gel.

7. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein:

the blade interior circumferential edge thickness is greater than or equal to the thickness of exterior circumferential edge of the blade where the blade contacts an interior circumferential surface of the fixture device.

8. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:

a circular elastic pad, wherein the elastic pad is placed around the exterior of the balanus ferrule.

9. An apparatus as claimed in claim 8, wherein the balanus ferrule further comprises:

a first rim located on a first side of the balanus ferrule; and

a second rim located on a second side of the balanus ferrule;

wherein

the first and second rims forma ring-shaped cavity upon which the elastic pad rests.

12. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein:

the fixture device and the balanus ferrule comprise an elliptic or obliquely elliptic structure corresponding to a cross section of a coronal sulcus.

13. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the balanus ferrule further comprises a notch for accommodating a frenulum of prepuce.

14. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein:

the fixture device is C-shaped.

15. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein:

the fixture device comprises three sections connected together at two hinge points, the hinge points staggered from each other so that they minimize contact with a scrotum during circumcision surgery.

16. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the means for maintaining the fixture device in a closed position comprises upper and lower scalariform detent blocks, each of the scalariform detent blocks comprising a hook and a hole, wherein the hooks are sized and shaped to fit within the holes, respectively.

17. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein:

the buckling device comprises a screw on one end of the fixture device and a linear threaded hole on the other end of the fixture device.

18. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a protective cover sized and shaped to fit over the buckling device.

19. An apparatus as claimed in claim 2, wherein:

the cross-section of the groove is selected from the group consisting of an arc, a semi-circle, a semi-ellipse, and a triangle; and

the cushion ring comprising a cross section substantially matching the cross section of the groove.

20. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein:

the fixture device comprises one, two, or three blades.

21. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein:

round angles are provided at the first and second blade mating portions.

10. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the cushion ring and the elastic pad comprises a micro mechanism for preventing skin adhesion to the cushion ring and the elastic pad.

11. An apparatus as claimed in claim 10, wherein:

the micro mechanism is selected from the group consisting of sinking and bulging dots, crossed sinking and bulging lines, grooves, protrusions, and an uneven structure.
