The Plastibell suppresses bleeding by the use of a string tied tightly around the foreskin to crush the foreskin and its blood vessels against the Plastibell. The [[foreskin]] and the Plastibell is then allowed to die and fall off after several days. The Plastibell may cause urine retention and its risks, including [[death]].

	The [[Mogen]] clamp was introduced in 1954 and is the newest of the three instruments. It was invented by a rabbi and is based on the design of the traditional Jewish barzell, so it may be favored by [[Mohel\| mohellim]] for the performance of [[ritual circumcision]]. The Mogen instrument claims to protect the glans penis during circumcision, however, in actual practice it has been possible to slice off part of the [[glans penis]]. There have been some very substantial awards for damages that have caused the company to go into bankruptcy and suspend production of the Mogen clamp.
