While rings serve as decorative or symbolic accessories on the hand, they can pose significant health risks when trapped on a finger. Delayed ring removal can lead to complications such as skin ulceration, neurovascular damage, and inflammation. This case series demonstrates that conventional ring removal techniques, such as compression, traction, lubrication, and rotation, are frequently ineffective when rings are deeply embedded with tissues. The GEM II ring cutter, equipped with a diamond cutting disc and a low-speed, high-torque mechanism, provides a safe and efficient solution for these challenging cases. The integrated finger guard minimizes the risk of further tissue injury, making it a valuable tool for the ring removal on advanced ring entrapment or ring tourniquet syndrome.
