[[File:Circumpendium-6-2-1-Mogen-clamp.jpg||center|thumb|Mogen-clamp]]
The [[Mogen]]-Clamp works in a similar way (middle), with the difference that it is locked shut after the [[foreskin]] is inserted, thus clamping it. After a few minutes the [[foreskin]] is cut in the same fashion as with the simple shield. The clamping is meant to reduce or prevent [[bleeding]] from the wound.

The Sheldon-Clamp (right) works in a similar way. The inner clamp grasps the tip of the [[foreskin]], pulling it into the outer clamp which is closed. The outer clamp then grips the [[skin]]. After a few minutes of pressure, the [[foreskin]] is cut between the two clamps.
The use of a shield, rather than forceps, is meant to provide a better protection of the [[Glans penis|glans]] from cutting injuries. However, if used improperly both the [[Mogen ]] and the Sheldon clamp are subject to the risk of the tip of the [[Glans penis|glans]] being accidentally clamped and being cut into or severed.
