New circumcision technique
During my Bradley class, I usually assign each couple a topic to research and during last night's class I learned that there is a new supposedly "non-surgical" circumcision technique that UNC Hospital has started to use. It is called the TaraKlamp. You can watch a video of the procedure on their website at https://www.taraklamp.com/ . Although after watching it, I'm not sure how they can do that to infants and have the "klamp" on for 5 days!

It doesn't look that different from the normal plasti-bell. Both use a ring around the glans, however, the plasti-bell falls off on it's own in 5-7 days instead of needing to be removed.
After assisting w/ countless circs while working in peds my favorite method is the Mogan clamp. We only had one dr in the practice out of 8 who used the Mogan clamp but I liked how much faster it was and the fact that there's no "parts" to worry about falling off or removing. I'm not sure if this dr. used this method because he was Jewish or if it was just his preferred method.
sorry but i'm not seeing much of an advantage to using the taraklamp. it actually looks worse to me than some of the other methods that i'm used to.
i agree with pp about the Mogan clamp, we had a back up OB that we worked with and he used that method. i liked it a lot.
