Ring entrapment is a common yet often overlooked emergency, with prevalence rates comparable to appendicitis and kidney stones. Traditional ring removal methods struggle with modern metal rings, leading to prolonged emergency department (ED) stays, increased patient discomfort, and potential injuries.

A recent publication from Nova Scotia Health highlighted how the Ring Rescue Kit is transforming emergency care by making ring removal safer, faster, and more efficient.

Implementing the Ring Rescue Kit led to measurable time savings, with clinicians reporting a reduction of 21-30 minutes per procedure. The ability to delegate ring removal to nurses and paramedics further optimizes staff utilization, freeing physicians for more critical cases. The Ring Rescue Kit virtually eliminates the chance of patient injury with its precise, controlled, and heat-free cutting mechanism, unlike other repurposed cutting tools.

Clinician feedback highlighted an 88% reduction in procedure-related anxiety and a 73% increase in patient comfort. A cost-benefit analysis showed that the Ring Rescue Kit prevents costly delays, saving up to $1,328 per stuck ring case.

Standardizing the Ring Rescue Kit across EDs can lead to improved workflows, cost savings, and higher patient satisfaction, making it a game-changer for emergency care.

The Ring Rescue Kit: The Ultimate Solution for Stuck Rings

The Ring Rescue Kit includes everything healthcare providers need to remove the stuck ring, including the Compression Device and specially formulated Ring Lubricant that enables a non-destructive option to keep the ring intact. The Ring Rescue Compression Device uses uniform air pressure to shrink finger size allowing the ring to be manipulated and pulled off.

For those more stubborn rings that just won’t budge, the Kit also includes the Dolphin Ring Cutter that cuts through any ring metal, including Tungsten and Titanium, in minutes. The Ring Rescue Dolphin Ring Cutter uses a specially designed AssureCUT™ Disc and a built-in automatic guard that uses smart technology for the fastest cut possible while virtually eliminating the risk of injury to the patient.
