ALİ'SKLAMP
Brought to our attention in late 2007,
ALİ'SKLAMP is a
disposable male circumcision device that has been designed for circumcising
aesthetically, quickly and without blood and sutures. It is a small plastic
device that provides circumcision by means of clamping and crushing the male
foreskin. It consists of a transparent polycarbonate tube and a white
plastic clamping mechanism. It is light and generally easy to use.
The device looks very similar to the SmartKlamp.
The clamp is produced in 5 different sizes, from infants to adults
(10-12-14-16-18). Two even larger sizes are in production. It is EO
sterilized. There is a measuring device with every clamp in order to help you
choose the right size.

The product brochure indicates that “ALİ'SKLAMP not only
provides a safe and easy circumcision but also it provides for safe procedure
outside the clinic (in homes, collective circumcision events and in environments
where enough sterilization is missing), too.” ALİ'SKLAMP has Patent
Certificate, Industrial Design Patent Certificate, Trademark Patent Certificate
and CE Certificate from Turkey. A USA FDA approval
has been applied for.
Note: This device should not be used
to do a self-circumcision. Circumcision should always be performed by a
trained and skilled healthcare provider.

Below notes from the maker of the device:
Circumcision with ALİ'SKLAMP
While starting the circumcision with ALİ'SKLAMP, the
position of the glans should be determined by an Acetate pen. This procedure is
recommended in situations that local anesthetic is used, and so the surgeon does
not loose his orientation.
On the day that ALİ'SKLAMPwill be
removed, the parents are asked to make their child sit in hot water for 1 hour
before coming to the clinic. Soap or shampoo can be put into the water, there is
no objection, it is especially recommended. It is important to bring the child
to the clinic without loosing time.
While removing ALİ'SKLAMP, from the
far tip the white clamping apparatus two branches are cut and these branches are
opened through sides. By the help of tip of the lancet, by pushing
the clamping cover with dorsal penis, the white clamping apparatus is removed.
After the white clamping apparatus is removed, we see brown or black 2-3 mm
necrosis skin ring. In this stage, local anesthetic sprays can be applied and
wait for a moment. Necrosis cover can be abraded by nail tip; also it can be
removed by scratching vertically in 12-9-3 lines with a lancet. The second way
is recommended. Especially in overweighed children and infants; more scratching
will break the entirety of the necrosis cover and it will prevent the
post-circumcision phimosis.
After the tube is removed, penis skin is draw back and the mucosa can be
uncovered. There are operators who wait for healing without drawing back the
penis skin. They claim that this implementation decreases the growing of edema.
For the aesthetic evaluation, it is recommended to draw back the penis skin in
first 50 circumcisions.
In the photos, you see the mucosa, necrosis cover and penis skin just after
removing the device. In this circumcision the device removed on 3rd day. That
there is no edema on penis and mucosa.
After removing ALİ'SKLAMP; a good
amount of antibiotic cream is applied to penis. After that the penis is covered
using gauze and the underwear is worn.
The family should be reminded to remove the gauze after 1 hour. Otherwise
the gauze may stick to the penis.
