Specs & features.
The tool resembles a pair of pliers with four prongs on the end. When the handles are squeezed, the prongs expand and stretch the heavy-duty latex ring. The operator pulls the scrotum through the expanded band, placing it above the testicles, and then releases the tool, allowing the tight band to restrict circulation. Over 2 to 3 weeks, the testicles and scrotum atrophy and fall off naturally.
