Measure
Unicirc With Tissue Adhesive
Excision of foreskin with Unicirc device and sealing wound with tissue adhesive Unicirc with tissue adhesive: Excision of foreskin with Unicirc device and wound sealing with tissue adhesive
Surgical Control
Surgical circumcision using forceps guided, dorsal slit, or sleeve method Surgical Control: The study is quasi-experimental, because the open surgical controls are not contemporaneous. They were performed at the same center as part of Unicirc 001 trial with the same conditions as the subsequent 50 Unicirc circumcisions.
