Emergency Ring Removal and The Titanium Ring Myth

Active people or people who have physically stressful jobs should remove jewelry during these activities. Many people have been seriously injured and had to have the jewelry cut from them to provide medical care.

If you wear a ring and injure your finger quickly remove it before the swelling begins. Using baby oil or even your own spit can help if the swelling has already begun. Elevating the fingers and putting on a cold compress will also manage the swelling for easier removal. If that fails it may need to be cut off at the emergency room.

Jewelers who may have been threatened by titanium ring sales likely started the rumor that titanium is a poor choice due to the metal strength is near impossible to cut. Mens titanium rings could not be created if this were true. Call your local emergency facility for information regarding titanium ring removal.

I have been successful in cutting through all grades of titanium using a Dremel tool using a cut-off disc. For Safety Professionals, ring cutters can be purchased from emergency medical suppliers. If you are prepared with the right tool, proper action can be critical to the injury. Seek professional help as soon as possible.

Mens wedding bands and mens jewelry rings can be cut using standard jewelry ring cutters as well. These are available within the industry. A cut-off wheel easily penetrates titanium grade 6-4 quickly and easily. With any cutting process, sharpness and quality of cutting edge determines the quickness of the cut-off.

If you are thinking of cutting off your ring at home you should reconsider. Many people have severely injured themselves doing this. I have seen a friend try and use bolt cutters and ended up in the hospital. May as well go to the right place from the start.
