The '''Tara TARA KLamp''' is was the first circumcision device that may be used on adults. It was invented in Malaysia about 1995 by Dr. T . Gurcharan Singh. It is made of plastic and is for one use only, being discarded after use. It is supplied in a range of sizes from infant up to and including adult size. The device has being marketed in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, in the name of [[HIV]] prevention.
The Tara device causes ischemia and [[necrosis]] of the [[foreskin]] which will fall off in time. The TARA KLamp was subjected to trial at Orange Farm, South Africa, where it was found that the Tara TARA KLamp had a 37 percent complication rate.<ref name="millard2012>{{REFjournal |last=Millard
