摘要

The pros and cons of circumcision have fueled a heated debate. Now from the World Health Organization comes evidence that is difficult to ignore: Male circumcision could lower female-to-male HIV transmission rates by 50 to 60 percent, according-to 2007 results of three clinical trials conducted on more than 10,000 men in Kenya, Uganda, and South Africa. In the wake of these findings, demand for the procedure has surged among African men, overwhelming government hospitals and fueling fears that untrained hucksters offering unsanitary surgery in makeshift clinics could transmit bloodborne diseases through the reuse of nonsterile scalpels. Botched circumcisions can lead to scarring, partial penile amputation, and even death. What is needed here is a sterile, disposable, and inexpensive circumcision device to reduce infections and complications while updating a surgical procedure that has not changed in 50 years. Physician David Tomlinson believes he has just the thing: the AccuCirc, an instrument he invented in his spare time and developed with the aid of a team of collaborators at Brown University and Clinical Innovations, a medical device company in Murray, Utah. His sterile device, which permits only one use, protects the glans beneath the foreskin from injury and requires only minimal training.
