This device is similar in operation to the Tara KLamp except that it is in two parts.
The glans is first measured using the Size-O-Meter to determine which size device is required.
Any adhesions are broken down and the tube part is inserted between the glans and the foreskin, which is pulled up onto the tube.
The outer portion is passed over the tube and rotated half a turn to lock the tube to it. The locking arms are then half-closed to lightly hold the foreskin.
The foreskin is adjusted over the tube so that it will be clamped at the desired place.
The locking arms are clicked completely shut and the excess foreskin is removed from in front of the locking ring.
The device can be left to fall off by itself in about a week or the doctor can remove it after a few days.
A new more anatomical design was also recently introduced that the maker claims makes it easier to perform a "high and tight" circumcision using the clamp. The angular design follows the shape of the corona, thereby ensuring that the dorsal part of the skin can be cut higher, and leaving the least possible amount of foreskin.
It was originally available only in sizes for infants and children. However, in March 2004 the company has announced the introduction of the adult sizes (XL (27mm) and XXL (35mm) with first distribution in Istanbul. This coincides with the US FDA has approval of the Smart Klamp for marketing in the USA. Circumvent, the clamp's maker is currently finalizing discussions with a new distribution partner for the USA.
