Prepackaged collections (either custom or standard) of single-use (i.e., disposable) devices and supplies needed to surgically remove the foreskin of the penis (i.e., perform a circumcision). Items in these kits usually include instruments (e.g., tweezers, probes, hemostats, scissors, scalpels/knives, circumcision clamp, scissors) and supplies such as dressings, skin prep solutions (e.g., disinfectant), anesthetics (e.g., lidocaine), and antibiotics. The kits may be supplied in supporting trays (i.e., procedure trays) consisting of a flat-bottomed receptacle with a border around the periphery supporting all the instruments and supplies needed for the procedure; the trays are usually covered or wrapped. Disposable circumcision kits and trays are used in hospitals, at home, and in other healthcare facilities.
