Patent ID: 7591824

Claim:
A surgical device for performing a circumcision, said device comprising: (a) a hollow body open at both ends thereof; (b) a Y-shaped handle having an elongated member and a pair of legs disposed on a proximate end of said elongated member and positioned adjacent an anterior end of said body each leg having distal end thereof secured to one of two diametrically opposed points on said anterior end, said each leg having a portion thereof disposed adjacent a juncture with said anterior end of said body being weaker than any other portion of said body, whereby a reciprocation of said handle causes said handle to fracture at each juncture and become detached from said body; and (c) a pair of barbs, each of said pair of barbs disposed stationary on and extending outwardly from an exterior curved edge of a respective leg, said each barb having each of a proximate end thereof rigidly positioned on said exterior curved edge, a pointed distal end thereof spaced from said curved edge and a plurality of triangular shaped side surfaces connecting said pointed distal end with said proximate end, wherein said each of said pair of barbs is pointed at a predetermined angle relative to a longitudinal axis of said elongated member away from said anterior end of said hollow body, and wherein a height of said each of said pair of pointed barbs is sufficient to puncture a wall of a foreskin.
