The relative simplicity of clamp-assisted circumcisions has lead to an increase in accessibility to the devices, to the point that various clamps are now available for purchase via the Internet. It is important that patients be made aware that regardless of how easy these devices appear to use, they should only be utilized by those with the appropriate training.
