Abstract:
1. System for effecting ischemic necrosis in a foreskin of a penis, comprising: an outer elastic o-ring made from an elastic material, wherein the o-ring is a stretchable ring with its diameter being increased upon stretching and returning to the diameter before stretching when released from said stretching; a rigid inner support element defining a closed loop defining an opening dimensioned to permit a penis to pass therethrough and having an inner surface and an outer surface; the outer surface comprising a circumferential support for the elastic o-ring to be mounted thereon, said support being formed within a groove in at least part of the outer surface; at least one first segment of the outer surface having a curvature that is substantially zero, and wherein the substantially zero outer curvature of the first segment is configured so as to be manually inserted over, and removed from the penis; and a deployment element defining a closed loop frame with an opening and an arrangement of holders for holding the elastic o-ring in a stretched state thereof and for mounting the elastic o-ring within the circumferential support of the support element, wherein the elastic o-ring is configured to apply radial pressure when in stretched form.
