Cost Analysis of Adult Male Circumcision with the PrePex Device versus Surgery in Rwanda

Urologic nursing, Volume 34, No. 6, Year 2014

In this study from Rwanda, voluntary adult male circumcision costs 33% less with trained nurses using the PrePex device compared with physician-nurse teams performing dorsal-slit surgery. These cost savings and the documented safety, speed, and efficacy of the PrePex procedure, serve Rwanda's HIV prevention program.
