Plastibell [plas´tĭ-bel]

trademark for a bell-shaped device used as a guide in the removal of the foreskin in circumcision. The Plastibell is slipped over the glans, and the foreskin is then pulled over and secured tightly around the bell. After the tissue is trimmed from the glans, the handle of the Plastibell is snapped off, leaving the bell in place; within 5 to 10 days the bell and the remnant of the foreskin become detached, leaving a healed edge.
