Type of Object	Clamp, circumcision
Manufacturer	Gomco Surgical Mfg. Corp.

Physical Details	Stainless steel Gomco circumcision clamp set in a black leather case. The set contains five clamp bases, one package of copper wire, one universal clamp handle, and two universal screws for attaching the handle to the clamp base. Each of the five clamp bases is similar in form, with a screw at one end for attaching the handle and an opening at the bottom for pulling through the bell and the glans penis. Each of the five bells is similar in form as well, and like the clamp bases, they come in sizes similar to those of the bases. A small packet of copper wire is included in a paper packet. The entire set is housed in a black leatherette box with two snap closures and purple velveteen lining. The case does not appear to be a good fit for the circumcision set, and was likely not designed to hold this kit.
