This product has been designed for healthcare professionals practicing the necessary skills for prophylactic and therapeutic male circumcision. It allows practitioners to perform the 3 most common methods of circumcision.
In 2013, trainees and trainers attending RCS Core Surgical Skills courses or a national urology meeting were asked to use the model to undertake circumcision. Feedback questionnaires were analyzed from 55 trainees and 32 trainers. Use of the model for training was considered satisfactory or better in 93% of returns. As a realistic model, 92% considered it to be satisfactory/very good/excellent.
