Shangring: Male Circumcision Device
Circumcision reduces risk of transmission of HIV by over 65 percent. It is associated with reduced risk of HPV (32-35%), HSV-2 (25-34%), STIs, and prevention of genital cancers, including cervical and penile1. In 2016, WHO and UNAIDS targeted 27 million for Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision (VMMC) in 14 high priority countries.
ShangRing is a novel disposable circumcision device consisting of two concentric rings, inner and outer, and a silicon pad. The two rings lock together over the foreskin of the male
reproductive organ and the silicon pad provides a good non bio-reactive surface.
The ShangRing provides a low-cost, high quality, safe, non-invasive, low-pain and rapid method to provide VMMC services. ShangRing meets international safety standards
and is FDA, WHO, EU-CE and ISO approved, for application on adolescent and adult males.
A WHO study (2013) found that ShangRing had no ‘serious’ adverse effects, and less than 1% ‘moderate’ adverse effects among 1,983 males.
A Simple Procedure
Application of ShangRing follows a simple 5-step procedure:1.Determining appropriate ShangRing size
2.Administering local or topical anesthesia
3.Preparing skin
4.Placing ShangRing and removing foreskin
5.Caring for wound post-operatively
A Simple Removal
ShangRing will mostly detach itself spontaneously within 10-14 days; alternatively, clients may return to their healthcare provider 7-10 days post-circumcision for ring removal
Why Choose ShangRing?
ShangRing has several advantages as compared to similar products on the market and conventional VMMC surgery. ShangRing is minimally invasive and can be performed in 3-5 minutes given simple training. ShangRing has a lower intraoperative pain score, minimal bleeding, and fewer adverse effects, less risk of infection, higher aesthetics rating and high overall user satisfaction (95-100%)1,3.
ShangRing requires no stiches and the clients can shower normally during recovery and will require minimal time off work
