When a patient walked into Beavercreek Township Fire Department in Greene County, Ohio with a wedding ring stuck on their finger, the crew was able to resolve the situation quickly with the Compression Device.
The Beavercreek Township Fire Department encounters ring entrapment cases multiple times each year. After relying on traditional methods that often resulted in cutting rings, the department equipped Rescue 61 with the Ring Rescue Compression Device and Dolphin Ring Cutter to provide a safer, more effective solution.
Their Stuck Ring Experience
“A-Platoon had a patient walk in with their wedding ring stuck on a finger. The department encounters this event multiple times a year.”
“In the past, the crew would attempt to apply soap/lubricant to remove the ring. If that did not work, the crew would then operate a hand-cranked ring saw that would cut the ring off. Due to this reoccurrence, the department purchased the Dolphin Ring Rescue. This kit is placed on Rescue 61 and comes with a variety of tools to remove the ring safely and effectively.”
