Description

Sklar's ring cutter 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. Like the Keyes, this ring cutter is best used on soft metals. Additional replacement blades are sold separately.
