Ring cutters are used to remove rings, often in medical emergencies or when making size adjustments. Some are designed specifically for cutting rings and have a blade guard to protect the finger. Rings can get stuck due to weight gain, swelling, or getting caught on objects. It’s important to use the right tool for the job to avoid damage.
Ring cutters are tools that can be used to cut rings. Many jewelers keep these tools as they often have to cut rings when making size adjustments or doing other tasks. They are also commonly stored in emergency response kits, ambulances, and emergency rooms so that rings can be quickly and safely removed from patients’ fingers during medical emergencies. Funeral homes and autopsy facilities also often keep a set of ring cutters so that rings can be removed on death if necessary.
Some ring cutters are specifically designed to be used on rings only. They may include a small jeweler’s saw to quickly cut through metal or other types of blades. These devices are not safe to wear on a ring that is stuck on someone’s finger. Ring cutters designed for this purpose have a blade guard that can be slipped between the ring cutter and the finger, ensuring that the finger is not damaged when cutting the ring so that it can be removed.
There are several reasons why rings get stuck on your fingers. One of the most common is weight gain, and wedding rings in particular are prone to getting stuck because people rarely remove them. Another is a disease or disease that causes swelling or knocking in the fingers. For example, people with congestive heart disease often have swollen fingers, as do pregnant women, and people with arthritis may develop such severe swelling and twisting in their fingers that rings cannot be removed.
It may also be necessary to cut a ring because a ring has gotten caught on something, causing a safety issue. For example, first responders at the scene of an accident may see that a ring must be cut to free someone without damaging that person’s finger. Rings can get caught on metal parts of a car during a car accident, metal machinery in a factory, or even things like chain link fences. In these cases, it may not be possible to remove the finger without cutting the ring.
High quality ring cutters can handle a wide variety of metal alloys and can cut very quickly. Others may be designed for specific families of alloys, such as golds. It is important to use the right tool for the job to avoid causing damage. Ring cutters designed for gold, for example, are not suitable for harder metals like platinum.
