Plastibell Circumcision

A Gentle, and Effective Technique for Infants and Young Children

Safest Method For Infant Circumcision

Plastibell Circumcision

The Plastibell circumcision is a popular technique, especially for infants and young children, known for its safety, simplicity, and minimal discomfort. Developed to improve the outcomes of traditional circumcision, the procedure uses a small plastic ring to guide and protect the circumcision process while promoting natural healing.

Benefits of Plastibell Circumcision

  1. Minimally Invasive: The procedure avoids the use of surgical cuts and stitches, minimising trauma to the tissue.
  2. Safe for Infants and Children: The Plastibell method is specifically designed for younger patients, ensuring a gentle approach.
  3. Low Risk of Complications: With proper care, the Plastibell circumcision has a low rate of bleeding and infection.
  4. Convenience: The device falls off naturally, reducing the need for a follow-up procedure to remove it.

While the Plastibell method is highly effective, it is most suitable for infants and young children. For older children and adults, alternative circumcision methods such as the ZSR stapler or Shang Ring are generally more appropriate.

The Plastibell circumcision is a trusted and gentle technique for circumcising infants and young children. With its minimally invasive approach and natural healing process, it provides parents with a safe and effective option for this important procedure.
