Evaluation of the Acceptability and Safety of the ShangRing Device for Male Circumcision in Shinyanga, Tanzania

The ShangRing is a sterile, single use, disposable male circumcision (MC) device that consists of two concentric plastic rings, the inner of which is lined by a silicone pad, which provides a smooth and non-bio reactive surface against the surgical wound. The outer ring consists of 2 halves which are hinged together at the same end. On each side of the halves there is a locking clasp which allows for locking itself with inner ring. The ShangRing device is removed seven days after placement.
