Description

Sklar's Keyes ring cutter is a specialty instrument used for cutting and removing rings from a traumatized or otherwise inflamed finger. It features a thumb screw that turns a sharp, toothed, rotary blade that cuts the ring. The plier handle operates a lower jaw that slides under the ring and protects the finger from the cutting while holding the blade onto the surface of the ring. The Keyes ring cutter is best used on soft metals. Replacement blades are also available separately.
