AI Technical Summary
Existing circumcision devices do not adequately fit the anatomical structure of the penis, leading to uneven mucosa removal and difficulty in observing the glans penis during the procedure due to a lack of light transmission.
The device incorporates a skin-stretching rod with female teeth, light-transmitting windows, and an elliptical downward sloping mouth, along with a single handle clamp and thumbscrew, to ensure compatibility with the penis anatomy, allow better visualization, and provide adjustable foreskin length.
The solution enables more precise and even removal of the foreskin, improves visibility during the procedure through light transmission, and allows for adjustable foreskin length to accommodate different anatomical needs.

Abstract
Description
[0001] CIRCUMCISION DEVICE CONSISTING OF A SINGLE HANDLE CLAMP, SKIN STRETCHING ROD AND SCREW COMPATIBLE WITH THE ANATOMICAL STRUCTURE
[0002] The present invention relates to a circumcision device comprising a skin-stretching rod with female teeth in the upper part, light-transmitting windows in the middle part, and an elliptical downward sloping mouth at the base that is compatible with the anatomical structure of the glans penis through which the foreskin is passed,
[0003] Thumbscrew with two handles and male teeth inside and with a flat surface upper table on the upper part and a single handle clamp to which the lower table with a slope compatible with the anatomical structure of the penis head / ellipse-shaped mouth is connected at the bottom,
[0004] State of the art:
[0005] For circumcision, in some regions, a circumcision device consisting of a metal single handle clamp, a metal rod through which the foreskin is passed and a metal screw is used.
[0006] There is an upper table in flat position at the top and a lower table in flat position at the bottom, connected to the single handle clamp (fig. 1, fig. 2A, fig. 2B). At the bottom of the metal rod there is a flat surface cylinder-like bulb (called a bell) for the foreskin to be passed through. At the top there are female threads that will be compressed by the screw.
[0007] The foreskin is threaded into the bulb in the cylindrical looking metal rod. The female threads of the metal rod are passed first through the lower table and then through the upper table of the single handle clamp. The female threads are gripped by the male threads in the screw and compressed. Thus, the foreskin is stretched and made ready for cutting.
[0008] In medicine, the head of the penis, called the "glans", is angled. That is, the upper and lower ends of the head are not in the same plane. The curved part of the metal rod attached to the glans penis has a flat surface with a circular shape at the base. The parts that sit on the head of the penis do not fit the anatomical shape of the penis. Circumcision causes the inner skin of the penis, called "mucosa" in medicine, to be longer at the top (facing the air) and shorter at the bottom (facing the bags).
[0009] Operators may want to adjust the length of foreskin to be cut according to their hand habits. The curved part of the metal rod does not have a "length adjustment surface" that adjusts the length of the foreskin to be cut. The operator performing the circumcision cannot use the right to adjust the length of the foreskin to be cut, but can cut the foreskin (mucosa) according to the "foreskin length adjustment surface" in the tube on the device. Or they use circumcision devices manufactured in different sizes / dimensions.
[0010] Since the cylindrical looking metal rod is solid inside (no transparency or light transmitting window), the operator has difficulty closely observing the glans penis during the circumcision procedure.
[0011] Object of the Invention;
[0012] To hollow out the inside of the skin stretching rod and opening windows in the center to allow ambient light to enter and allow the operator to see the head of the penis during the circumcision process,
[0013] To make it compatible with the anatomical structure of the penis head by making a downward sloping ellipse-shaped mouth at the bottom of the skin stretching rod and to prevent the long inner skin (mucosa) part from remaining on one side of the penis head compared to the other,
[0014] To create foreskin length adjustment surface on the elliptical shaped mouth and to create skin stretching rods with different sizes of foreskin length adjustment surface in the circumcision device / set.
[0015] To tilt the lower table of the single handle clamp from a straight position to a tilted position, downwards to a position where the elliptical shaped skin stretching rod mouth will enter / adapt to it.
[0016] To assist the operator in the length of the foreskin to be cut by creating a single handle clamp, a thumbscrew and skin stretching rods with different foreskin length adjustment surfaces in a circumcision device.
[0017] The present invention is characterized by the following;
[0018] 1-The upper part of the skin stretching rods should have female threads for the thumbscrew to tighten,
[0019] Windows in the center of the skin stretching rod to let in ambient light,
[0020] The skin stretching rods create a foreskin length adjustment surface of different sizes on the ellipse-shaped mouth sloping downward at the bottom.
[0021] 2- To make the lower table of the single handle clamp inclined downwards and to make it compatible with the ellipse shaped mouth.
[0022] 3- In a circumcision device, there should be a single handle clamp, a thumbscrew and skin stretching rods with different foreskin length adjustment surfaces.
[0023] 4-Single handle clamp, skin stretching tension rods and thumbscrews can be made of metal, plastic or metal plating on plastic.

[0069] The circumcision device consists of a thumbscrew (1), a single handle clamp (2) and a skin tension rod (3).
[0070] Perspective view of the thumbscrew (1) is given in figure 3. The thumbscrew (1) has a female thread inlet channel (1.1), male threads (1.2) in this channel and screw handles (1.3) on the sides.
[0071] The perspective view of the single handle clamp (2) with flat upper table and inclined lower table is given in Figure 4. The handle (2.2) is connected at the top to the flat top table (2.1) with flat surface and at the bottom to the inclined bottom table (2.3).
[0072] The single handle clamp (2) has a flat top table (2.1) with a flat surface on the top and a top table female thread inlet hole (2.1.1) in the center of the top table.

[0104] Performing the circumcision procedure:
[0105] The foreskin (4.1) of the penis (4) shown in figure 22, figure 23 and figure 24 is passed by hand over the elliptical mouth (3.1) shown in figure 6.
[0106] The female thread (3.3) is passed sequentially through the elliptical mouth inlet hole (2.3.1) and the upper table female thread inlet hole (2.1.1) as shown in figure 18.
