The [[Plastibell]] was introduced in the early 1950s. 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]]. | |||
