Hong-KYO Clamp
This device was patented about 25 years ago by a Japanese doctor. Two cylinders are
pushed over the penis, all the way to the base. The first cylinder is very short (1/4
inch) and the edge where the two cylinders touch is very thin. Skin is pulled outward at
the gap where the cylinders would meet. Once enough skin is pulled through all the way
around such that the shaft skin becomes tight, a mechanism moves the cylinders tightly
together, essentially crushing off the skin that has been pulled out earlier. Unlike the
GOMCO, which clamps tightly round the foreskin but requires very exact work from the
operator with the scalpel to produce a neat result, the HONG-KYO was a ring-clamp mounted
at the base of the penis.
The device leaves a scar at the base in or near the pubic hair essentially providing a
'scar-less' circumcision. It leaves ALL the sensitive inner layer (mucosa). The only
potention problem is that the foreskin on most males is not a straight tube. Due to the
sloping shape of the glans, there is usually more total skin on top than on the bottom of
the penis. Therefore this device would probably leave the skin less tight on the top than
on the bottom.
It was only satisfactory where the prepuce was already loose enough to allow the
shaft-skin to be tightened, and the result was that the frenulum was often stretched to
breaking point on subsequent erection.
