Adult Circumcision - Stapling device
The GOLD standard of Circumcision procedures. The Adult Stapling Device simplifies the operation, with a short operating time and less surgical trauma to the area. This is a very safe and easy application, leaving a tidy cut with minimal scarring. The staples used fall off on their own without the need of revisiting the surgery.
- Fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission
The GOLD standard
The procedure involves the placement of a circular clamp around the foreskin to hold it in place. The foreskin is then removed with a scalpel, and the edges of the remaining skin are stapled together using the stapler. The staples are designed to dissolve on their own over time, so there is no need to remove them.
One advantage of the stapling circumcision technique is that it is a relatively quick procedure. The entire procedure takes around 30 minutes to complete, which is much faster than some other methods. Additionally, the use of the stapler can reduce bleeding and the risk of infection.
This technique is generally considered to be a safe and effective method for adult circumcision. As with any surgical procedure, it is important to discuss the risks and benefits of this technique with your healthcare provider before undergoing the procedure.
