About Mogen Method
The Mogen clamp provides a quick and simple surgical Circumcision. The foreskin is freed from the glans then Mogen clamp is applied to obtain a superior cosmetic result. The procedure usually takes 10 minutes and is virtually bloodless.
​
The Mogen clamp is a surgical instrument consisting of two flat blades that have a slit-like space between them and a mechanism that draws the blades together and locks them in place. The slit is limited to 3 mm to allow the foreskin, but not the glans, to cross the opening.
