Circumcision Forceps
An early attempt to develop an instrument to avert bleeding was made by Moskovich in
1920 when he designed the circumcision forceps, which resembled a towel holder with 7
indentations for sutures. The forceps did not gain wide acceptance, probably because of
its poor cosmetic results. However, Moskovich envisioned bloodless circumcision, which was
more successfully accomplished by others later.
