Abstract
The present invention relates to a disposable circumcision apparatus, the apparatus comprising an inner ring (1) for placement onto a penis. The inner ring (1) is connected to one or more connecting rods (11). The inner ring (1) may comprise a slanted structure substantially conforming to the coronal sulcus of a penis. The apparatus may also comprise an outer ring for use in preventing foreskin blood circulation during circumcision surgery, the outer ring sized and shaped to match an external diameter of the inner ring. A detachment structure (14) is provided at the connection between the inner ring and the connecting rod(s) that allow the connecting rod(s) to be removed from the inner ring once the inner ring has been placed onto the penis.
