Inside the Ring Cutter
The ring cutter is part of the Sklar Instruments catalog, in the Sklar OR Grade range. This instrument is a specialty instrument used for cutting and removing rings from a traumatized or otherwise inflamed finger. Unlike the thumbscrew action of the Keyes, this single, grooved handle features a lever which operates a lower jaw that slides under the ring and protects the finger from the cutting. It is made of stainless steel. As a reusable instrument, it returns to service after cleaning and sterilization between cases.
