How To Remove a Ring Using a Manual Ring Cutter
Tips and Tricks for Removing a Ring With a Ring Cutter
Remind the patient to remove all rings before finger edema develops and is extensive enough to cause pain or vascular compromise if there is ever risk of a finger injury. If the tension is too great to spread the ring, another cut 180° from the original cut site can be made. This second cut allows the ring to fall off in two pieces. For rings made of hard material, one person can pull on each side of the ring to open it; each can use a paper clip. Hospital maintenance departments and fire rescue services may have cutting tools/pliers if paper clips are not readily available.
