      Hi, I just wanted to share the Gospel. In the Bible, God made the commands of what we should and shouldn’t do, but we broke them. We probably have all lied, stolen, cheated, etc. in our life and only committing one sin is worthy of going to hell, that's how serious sin is in God's eyes. So that’s why God sent His Son Jesus down to earth as a human form to live a perfect life, and to die for all our sins in our place on the cross so we could be washed clean of them, and be with Him in Heaven, and not go to hell where we deserve to go. And to receive that, you have to repent and put your trust in Jesus Christ, then you will be saved! God bless!

    Actually for most swelling it should be wrapped a lot closer together and more wraps to cover more of the skin and swelling to allow the ring to slide over the threaded area more easily. I was a Paramedic for years and we used this method or a ring cutter tool. We always kept a pack of waxed Dental Floss in our Medics Kit just for this purpose.

    Excellent! Another way, if no thread is available, is to grasp the tissue and skin beneath the joint, and pull it towards you, then simultaneously pull the ring away from your body. The skin often will get out of the way, because you are pulling it back and thinning the finger.

Couple of refinements: Use waxed thread or floss so the ring slips more easily. Also, put the windings closer together to better reduce the swelling.

    I Removed hundreds of rings when I was a medic in an emergency room, back in the eighties, and I never had one ring that I could not remove no matter what the circumstances. Your method is almost right but try the following, this also works on lacerated fingers. First put finger in traction and elevate for a few minutes and gently massage proximally, then using a cotton string, the type that they use to wrap hospital linens in, wrap as shown in the video but lay the string tightly parallel with no space in between the wraps. Slather finger and string with KY jelly and slowly unwind as shown in the video.( keep hand elevated while doing this) For lacerated digits prep with local and betadine. In my opinion the suture material shown in the video is way too thin and takes too long to wrap and has the potential to cut into the finger. Also the cotton string is thicker and absorbs the KY better and has more surface area allowing better leverage when unwrapping. I remember one ring that I was asked to remove from a 93 year old woman who had a ring on finger for seventy plus years that she had never removed before .The ring must have had copper in it as her finger was blue and her knuckle on the digit in question was at least 3 or 4 times thicker than the finger from arthritis. When I first looked at it I didn't think that there was any way that the ring would go over the knuckle but it did!. Oh well, i hope this helps...

    Worked like a charm. I used the waxed line that came with my Speedy Stitcher sewing awl. Threading the thick needle that came with the awl helped get it under the ring using the needle. It kept getting caught on the "crown" of my Claddagh ring and I had to add more wraps on my finger but it worked. Another site with the same technique suggested using about a meter of line. Definitely want to use a heavier thread.

    This only works in cases where you can actually stick a thread under the ring and it's not hopelessly stuck to the finger.
    Just dunk your finger in vegetable oil and slowly slide the ring off, much easier.

    I'm facing the opposite problem, trying to keep a ring on! I've managed to lose 47 pounds in the first year of my marriage and my wife 14 pounds through teamwork, support and encouragement of one another. The wedding band she bought me no longer stays on but I hate to cut it, as it's a not standard finish but hammered with a fine indent at the edges. I was talking with my hands the other day and it flew off across the room. My precious!

    Other methods that usually work: Twisting the ring as you pull. Or running it under cold water for a bit, which will reduce a regular swelling (perhaps doesn't apply to allergic reaction and other such swelling).

    Jeweler here. Sometimes this does not work as it is too painful. BEST IDEA: The easiest way is to use Windex or glass cleaner on the finger (get it between the finger and the ring). There is a slippery agent used in the product, and also the chemicals used in the product slightly reduce the swelling in the skin. Best done on a cold hand which is smaller than a warm one, also best done before all the tugging from other methods, which increases the swelling . A much easier method and it doesn’t gunk up the ring like soap and hand cream etc. PS there are medical papers published on this, for your reference.

    I used to make rings for Tiffany & Co. and never saw this done before. I would like to point out that after this is done, if you still want to wear your ring you can get it stretched as much as half a size bigger though some jewelers will only attempt a quarter size bigger. In extreme cases one might split the ring and solder additional gold into the crack then polish it out enlarging the ring even more, up to one to two sizes bigger. A lot depends on the style of the ring. A simple wedding band is the easiest. Rings that are ornate or tapered are more challenging and could cost a lot. Some jewelers will stretch a ring for free. If they want to charge a lot then go on line and buy your own ring mandrel. Just slide the ring down on the mandrel and using a rubber mallet or perhaps a small brass hammer, tap it down the mandrel a little then back off it. A ring mandrel is tapered so this will stretch any size ring. attempting more than a full ring size will usually deform a ring and it will leave marks on the inside of the ring. If you can live with that then this could be a low cost solution. Fancier equipment can cost upward of $200 but will not damage the ring by leaving marks inside. If you have a collection of rings that no longer fit due to enlarged fingers then this can be a very economical way of making them all larger. The equipment is marketed as either a ring sizer or ring mandrel or sometimes a ring stretcher. The cheapest ones look like a tapered rod of steel. The more elaborate ones have a hand crank and other features. Most come with instructions or you can find a video on TH-cam to show you how. I know of one woman who gained 50 lbs since her wedding day and she had nearly fifty rings that no longer fit that cost her thousands of dollars and her local jeweler wanted $20 each to re size them all. She only had her wedding band and her engagement ring done. After I told her about this she was able to resize all but three rings which were unfortunately too complicated in shape to be resized that way.

    As many have noted strong thread is necessary. I worked in the OR, and developed a different system, using a blood-drawer's tourniquet and a 1/4" Penrose drain. I would wrap the finger from the tip down past the ring, wait a minute with the hand elevated, to squeeze the finger as small as possible. Then the drain was used to tourniquet the finger to prevent refilling. The wrap is removed, the finger lubed with a little hand lotion, the ring slipped off and the tourniquet removed. There were a few rings I had to take off with a ring saw, usually because of arthritic knuckles. I would caution people NOT to buy rings of stainless stee, titanium, or other hard metals. You may lose the finger before the ring can be cut off.

    🙏 Thank You So Much Simple & Fast channel for this valuable & helpful short tutorial on how to take out a too small ring stuck on our finger! Using body lotion or olive oil to lubricate the finger & ring before using this tread method might reduced the discomfort & help the ring to come off easier! 🙏 Many Happy Good Blessings in Return to You! 🌷🌿🌏💜🕊

    Hi, from Scotland. I could use such help many mornings. I’m a sewer with good strong thread so now I’m sorted. Thanks for saving such an ingenious skill. Excellent doctor. When my mother’s wedding ring was stuck from swelling caused by som fractures in her wrist they just cut it off. It went right through the inner engraving, so it was ruined even though the ring was fixed. She was not happy and the type of woman to make that clear. I’ve subscribed so I can check out some of your ‘tricks’

    Wow. I never knew about this. There have been many times when my wedding ring would get stuck due to a temporary swelling of my fingers. I remember being in a panic to wrench it off using soap and water. A few days later, when the swelling went down, I could wear my ring again. But this technique you've shown us is really good.

    We started out with silk suture, three or four strands at a time. We started using "umbilical tape," which is wider. Now, the best material is the shoelace-like elastic band on a respiratory face mask. It is flat, elastic, threads under a ring like a shoelace, and seems to do the job the best in my experience.

    This is useful for situations where you cannot use water and soap. In normal cases water and soap will be a very easy and practical option.

    Hospitals have been using this method for over 40 years. 5mm white cotton ribbon also works better if your finger is a little bit swollen. The flat 5mm surface squeezes more skin and pushes your blood or fluid away from where the ring needs to slide. But if your finger is too swollen, there are ring cutters that will cut the ring. You can then take it to a jeweller and have them repair it.

    • @ahaveland
      @ahaveland ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Start winding from the fingertip to the ring to squeeze out the blood first to decrease finger diameter more and avoid causing a harmful rise in pressure that otherwise occurs when winding from the ring to the tip.

  • @foggylog19
    @foggylog19 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Yep used before, but it doesn't always work, so sometimes still needs cutting.
    PSA/FYI if you injure a hand/wrist/arm and have rings on fingers on that side take them off ASAP, because your hand will likely swell potentially causing more issues with finger circulation particularly if fractures. Put them on the other side if you have to and probably not top priority when you are in pain, but was most common reason for needing to cut rings off in ED was urgent circulation issue post injury at least many years ago. Stabilise and remove jewelry/watches etc

    As long as your finger isn't too swollen. I was on an Emirates Airlines flight from Dubai to Los Angeles years ago. The plane was diverted to Edmonton Alberta. The pilot said we had a medical emergency with a passenger. When I arrived in L.A. later, I found out the reason. A passenger couldn't get off her wedding band, and her finger was swelling badly. A doctor on board looked at her finger and determined she might lose her finger if the ring wasn't cut off soon. We land in Edmonton where she's taken to the hospital to have the ring removed. The pilot told us she was going to be OK. Next time you're on a long flight, either take off your wedding rings or get a divorce before traveling. ;)

      I think most of us like our rings to fit tightly so they don't normally come off but I have always found washing up liquid or similar works if I want one off. But the tip is useful to know if washing up liquid fails.

  • @mikalzet
    @mikalzet ปีที่แล้ว +14

    If the finger is really swollen you have to wind the string much closer than that, basically the thread lying right next to itself, and start winding from the tip, work your way down, and pass it under the ring at the end.
