Shang Ring

Disposable device made of two concentric plastic rings that clamp the foreskin between them.

How it is used

Enables sutureless adult circumcision: the excess foreskin is trimmed and the device is removed after about 7 days.

Clinical tip

It received WHO prequalification in 2015 for voluntary male circumcision programs, cutting operative time compared with the conventional suture technique.
