What equipment is needed for a circumcision?

Answer 1

The typical equipment for circumcision are: Betadine solution, local anaesthetic, scalpel, sharp scissors, haemostats, plastic or metal bell shaped device to cover the glans to protect it from accidental incision, sharp scissors, fenestrated cloth or paper drape, and fine suture. According to the wisdom of some it is better to subject newborn infants the excruciating pain involved in the procedure as local anaesthetic is not particularly effective and general anaesthetic is dangerous. Infants are done in an entirely different way from adults look up "plastibell" circumcision.

Today there are modern devices which makes circumcision easier to perform, less prone to infection, and negate the need for suturing.

Answer 2

There are different circumcision procedures. You need to ask the surgeon which one he or she uses.
