Claim:
A circumcision clamp for assisting in the removal of the foreskin of the penis of an adult human male, said circumcision clamp comprising: an interior-brace cross-member; an exterior-brace cross-member; a pivot pin pivotally connecting the interior-brace cross-member and the exterior-brace cross-member together at their general midsections, thereby enabling the exterior-brace cross-member and the interior-brace cross-member to pivot freely about the pivot pin; an exterior brace at the distal end of the exterior-brace cross-member, wherein said exterior brace is curved; an interior brace at the distal end of the interior-brace cross-member, wherein said interior brace is curved; a first loop at the proximal end of the interior-brace cross-member; a second loop at the proximal end of the exterior-brace cross-member; a plurality of first-loop locking tabs at the proximal end of the interior-brace cross-member and extending towards the exterior-brace cross-member; a plurality of second-loop locking tabs at the proximal end of the exterior-brace cross-member and extending towards the interior-brace cross-member; a clamp-brace tilt angle; an interior-brace surface element; a plurality of interior-brace suture holes; an exterior-brace surface element; and a plurality of exterior-brace suture holes; wherein: said exterior brace and said interior brace are semicircular and complementary such that when the circumcision clamp is in a closed position, the interior brace has a smaller diameter than, and is concentric within, said exterior brace; said clamp-brace tilt angle is on the order of a few degrees and refers to an acute angle formed between the length of the circumcision clamp, in a closed position, and the axis of curvature shared by the interior brace and the exterior brace; and said interior brace has a depth greater than that of the exterior brace, such that the interior brace protrudes in the proximal direction beyond the proximal edge of the exterior brace.
