Ring Rescue Inc creates, safe, effective and efficient solutions to solve the common stuck ring problem, in the medical, fire/EMS, jewelry, and funeral services spaces worldwide. With our initial device it aids professionals to remove a stuck ring from a swollen finger, without cutting or destroying the ring, providing a higher standard of care. It will compress the finger down to a more manageable size, and paired with our non-hydrating lubricant significantly increase the chances of the professional removing the ring intact for the patient/customer. Our team is busy at work on our next solution that will pair with our compression device to ensure providers around the world have the complete toolbox in ring removal. This will further instill confidence that in their procedures they are keeping their patients safe, while able to remove rings effectively and efficiently.
