Stabilizing the Prepuce
In this image: Figure 1. The physician has placed a sterile fenestrated drape on the infant.
Use a straight hemostat and clamp the prepuce (foreskin) at about 2 o'clock, making sure to get the full thickness of the prepuce (both outer and inner layers). The bite should about 3mm in length. Clamp the hemostat tightly for 2 to 3 clicks. See Figure 2 below.
In this image: Figure 2. The physician has clamped the hemostat tightly for 2 to 3 clicks.
Do the same on the infant's right at about 10 o'clock. See Figure 3 below.
