What is the source for metzitzah bapeh? The Gemara only says metzitzah. Other than tradition, why isn’t metztzah bakli good enough to fulfill the mandate of metzitzah? Is it possible that the only reason metzitzah bapeh was practiced was because there was no kli good enough, but if you had a kli that could get the same results, then it would be just as good as metzitzah bapeh (and possibly better if it carries less health risks)?
