The Mogen clamp is still used frequently to perform circumcisions on infant males in the United States, but the Mogen Circumcision Instruments Company paid so much money in injury settlements that it went out of business in July 2010. The device was invented by Brooklyn rabbi, Harry Bronstein in 1954. During circumcision, the penis is covered by the device, and the circumciser must complete the process blindly. Consequently, the Mogen clamp is a difficult and dangerous tool to work with.
