Circumstraint

The Circumstraint is a device used to hold an infant motionless and in position for his circumcision. It has Velcro straps to restrain the baby's arms and legs so that he cannot move during the procedure and provides a raised center platform between the baby's legs on which the doctor can rest the circumcision clamp. Usually a sterile drape, with a hole through which the penis can pass, is layed over the strapped infant to perform the short procedure.
