The Shang Ring is a disposable circumcision device which is currently marketed by Wuhu SNNDA Medical Treatment Appliance Technology Co Ltd, Wuhu, [[China]], exploiting the [[WHO]]'s endorsement of [[circumcision ]] as an [[HIV ]] prevention method.<ref>{{REFweb | last= | first= | yeardate= | title=Safety and Efficacy of the PrePex Device for Rapid Scale-up of Male Circumcision for HIV Prevention in Resource-limited Settings | url=http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/754486_4 | publisher=Medscape News Today: Scientific American | accessdate=2012-12-27}}</ref> It consists of two concentric plastic rings that sandwich the [[foreskin]], allowing it to be cut away without suturing and with minimal [[bleeding]]. Performed in a clinic under local anesthesia, the procedure takes less than five minutes, compared with approximately 20 to 30 minutes for a traditional “free hands” circumcision that requires suturing. The patient returns in one week for device removal. “Circumcision with this technique promises to be faster, safer and more acceptable to patients than conventional surgical circumcision methods,” says Dr. Marc Goldstein<ref>{{REFweb | last= | first= | yeardate= | title=The ShangRing Circumcision Device | url=http://www.medgadget.com/2008/08/the_shangring_circumcision_device.html | publisher=medGadget | accessdate=2012-12-27

Dr. Kuber Sachin demonstrates the Shang Ring circumcision procedure in the above video. The video revealed that the [[foreskin]] of the patient was fully retractable prior to the surgery and there was no other indication of disease of any kind. There was no apparent medical indication for the surgical Shang Ring circumcision. The patient lost the numerous desirable functions of the [[foreskin]].<ref>{{REFweb
