Why Every Hand Surgeon Should Carry Dental Floss: Ring Removal Trick with Dental Floss

[@pinaxolada]

I cannot thank you enough for this video!!! I have been trying this method since morning but in all videos it shows that the ring comes of in one pull, but this one works multiple times on finger gradually taking it off which is the smartest. I am so happy, you literally saved me. God bless you!

[@RobertoMikiMD]

You are welcome. Glad you found it helpful!

[@QuratulannFarooq]

Same here, i was able to do it using your method. Every other video made it look like it should do in one attempt and it was not working for me. Doing it multiple times like this video saved me from a trip to the doctor. Thank u so much.

[@paulmccormack4462]

Brilliant! The idea of progressively compressing the oedema in the finger makes all the difference. Thank you so much

[@RobertoMikiMD]

Glad it was helpful!

[@nikofoonk]

Thanks a lot, you have the step by step others videos don't have. I finally take off my stuck ring.

[@RobertoMikiMD]

Happy to hear the video was helpful! Good luck with the ring.

[@maryhardison8924]

I just did exactly what your videos described for me to do it. Saved me from having to go to the ER. R to the jeweler to get it cut off. Thank you so very much for the video it does work

[@RobertoMikiMD]

you are welcome! glad you found it helpful! thanks for watching and commenting!

[@ivanasukjadic1423]

The fire department could probably have cut it off for free, but sawing does get really hot and would likely have burned your finger;

[@LatifaAhmed-i7g]

thank you for the video!! i’ve seen many videos how everyone removes the ring with the strings but non of the technique worked for me until i saw this video and i got to say really pleased with technique thank you so much

[@RobertoMikiMD]

Glad it helped!

[@aredriksnow2569]

Thanks so much for this video. My father is dying in the hospital tonight, and is experiencing very bad edema. My mother hadn’t thought to remove his wedding ring. (They just had their 57th anniversary and have been together since they were 11 years old.) I had used this trick before for myself but had to look it up again. I knew my mom always carries dental floss in her purse (she’s an eternal Girl Scout), and told the nurse about this trick. She had never heard of it,so we pulled up this video and were able to remove his ring! We were concerned because his ring was more than 1/2 inch wide (it’s a very unique and sturdy ring). I’m so glad we were able to get it off at all, as there is no way it could’ve even been cut off it is so thick, and it’s such a special ring, as my mother bought it for him at a craft fair in the early 70’s. We left the roll of dental floss at the nurse’s station with a link to this video taped to it. The Hospice nurses were all excited to learn how to do this. Thank you so much!

[@RobertoMikiMD]

You are so welcome! Thank you for sharing your story. I am sorry to hear about your father being ill but I am moved that I played a small part in helping to alleviate suffering. My prayers for you and your family. Another moment where KZbin proves it is incredible for educating and finding solutions!

[@MumtahinaChowdhury-h3h]

I don't know how to thank you 😊😊 Thank you so much for this video❤❤ it's help me to remove my ring

[@RobertoMikiMD]

You are very welcome. These kinds of comments are all the payment needed. I am happy this technique worked for you!

[@michellechristmas422]

Thanks for the video! Just removed my husband's iron engineer ring off his pinky which he broke 30+ years ago and hasn't been able to remove his ring since. Needed to remove the ring for an upcoming MRI. Worked like a charm!

[@RobertoMikiMD]

Glad it helped! Best of luck with MRI. Hopefully nothing serious.

[@JenniferHutchinson-m2u]

Thank you so much for this video, i have arthritis in my fingers and the joints was swollen and my ring was killing me, using your method, i have finally got my ring off. My finger is a little sore and painful but at least the ring is no longer tight on my finger. Thank you, thank you, thank you😊

[@RobertoMikiMD]

Thanks for watching! And super happy the video was helpful. You can thank my grandpa!

[@EndureTyrant]

Just used this on my pregnant wife, her finger was starting to turn a different color from how tight it was. She was in tears during the process, but after 5 minutes we had both bands off, snd shes feeling a lot better!

[@RobertoMikiMD]

Glad it was helpful. Best of luck with pregnancy. Many blessings!

[@DynaKitty]

I've been struggling with my ring for 3 days now. With Thanksgiving coming, I was afraid I'd have to cut it off. Like another viewer, I always thought I'd have to do it in one go and the swelling kept stopping it from proceeding. Thank you so much for this video. I am free from that ring!

[@RobertoMikiMD]

Glad I could help!

Feels like your ripping your finger off, but it definitely works. Tie, pull, untie. Tie pull untie till it comes off.

[@RobertoMikiMD]

definitely not fun for the person with the ring

I am happy you found it helpful!

[@danny4219]

Honestly I have to say this was incredible, my ring was practically fused with my finger, in fact I had to slide it with soap because the dental floss couldn't even get in the inexisting gap - after being very patient and going little by little, the ring came off. Thank you - you saved me a trip to the ER

[@RobertoMikiMD]

Happy that you found it helpful!

[@blessingarimiwem3040]

Thanks a lot for this video. You’re great. I tried your method and it worked for me with ease. I’m grateful

[@RobertoMikiMD]

[@QWan-v5b]

Thank you so much. All the other videos showed a single attempt success. When i tried and failed, i thought i did it wrongly. I got the ring off following your video. Thank you!!!

[@RobertoMikiMD]

You're welcome! Glad you found video helpful. Thanks for watching.

[@asifiweaverroes510]

Thank you very much 😢😢 words can’t express my feeling rn 😊

[@RobertoMikiMD]

My pleasure 😊! I am so happy the video was helpful.

[@margovyshnevska]

Thanks you! My finger became very blue in the process and it was very scary. But I’ve decided that it has to be finished and I can’t put it on hold after my ring was in the middle of the finger. I had worse situation than on video, so it took more time and effort.

[@RobertoMikiMD]

Glad it was helpful!

[@darlenemadrid8437]

Thank you very much for your video. It was very helpful and we were able to remove my wedding ring stuck on my swollen finger without cutting my ring and without incurring injury to my finger 🙏🙏🙏🥰♥️

[@RobertoMikiMD]

@@sare2007 You may need to use a ring cutter. Most emergency rooms have them.

[@Slbk8905]

Thank you for this video. I have fluid retention in my hands, and my wedding ring is stuck and cutting into my finger. I’ll try this method!! I think it looks easier said than done, but I’ll give it a shot!! Thanks again!!

[@RobertoMikiMD]

Hope it works for you!

[@CaliforniaFarmGirl]

Thank you! I was starting to freak out but this worked.

[@RobertoMikiMD]

It took me several times, but it worked. Thank you so much! I watched this and another video. Soon, I will have my wedding ring resized but the first step is done.

[@RobertoMikiMD]

Glad the video helped!

[@Renae-g4f]

All the other videos I've seen using dental floss have been with rings not as stuck as mine, They've shown rings coming off with just one round of tying and unwinding. That didn't work for me, so I kept searching for a way to get my ring off without cutting it off and found your video. Thanks to this video, I was able to do it all on my own in just 3 minutes. My ring wasn't tight around my finger, but i have very large joints that have gotten larger because of a pregnancy weight gain, and now I had to take my ring off before surgery this week. Thos has stressed me out for months and even haunted me in my sleep, and you made it so easy. Thank you so much!

[@RobertoMikiMD]

[@RobertoMikiMD]

You're welcome 😊

[@michaelgasperik4319]

Should this technique work if my hand has just grown larger since putting the ring on? My wedding ring is titanium and it fit me properly 22 yrs ago, when I was 20. My hand has grown since then and I haven't been able to remove the ring for at least 12 years and my finger is significantly skinnier where the ring sits. I don't think it will fit over my knuckle. I've tried baby oil, lotion, and liquid dish soap, and it still doesn't even get close to coming off. I only want to remove it to get a larger ring.

[@RobertoMikiMD]

It may not but the only way to know is to try!

[@qetevanmchedlidze5391]

Hi my daughter put on a fake ring, and now It is not coming off and her finger is very swollen and I don't know what to do I tried everything.

[@RobertoMikiMD]

You may need to go to ER where they can use a ring cutter to remove it.

[@annecain3301]

My 18ct wedding ring had to be cut off in the Accident and Emergency Department after I had an accident. The medical staff tried to remove the ring unsuccessfully with soap and water but it was necessary to cut it off as the finger became extremely swollen and discoloured.The jeweller had to insert a piece of gold for the repair as the repeated attempts to cut the ring off left the edges quite damaged.

[@RobertoMikiMD]

Damage to rings is not unusual but the alternative of losing a finger makes it justifiable. The technique shown here is sometimes difficult to perform in the hustle and bustle of an ER. Hopefully, more people and physicians will see this technique and adopt it.

[@RobertoMikiMD]

I am sorry to hear this damage happened to your ring.

[@annecain3301]

@RobertoMikiMD I have used the method you demonstrated with very thin ribbon on a different occasion. After the ring was removed, I had surgery to replace the radial head of my elbow. I managed to have a bad fall on the way to my Doctors practice of all places!!

[@ritaliu3891]

It really works.though painful,but works really good!

[@RobertoMikiMD]

Glad it was helpful!

This method didn't work for me my ring has too large of a top so the string wouldn't catch I ended up using hand soap and nearly tearing my finger off but finally got it good luck with the string method it looks incredible

[@RobertoMikiMD]

Thanks for watching. No technique works for every finger or every ring. Glad to hear you got the ring off!

[@mattferrigno9750]

I would recommend using a bucket of ice on the hand first. It helps to reduce swelling and makes this process much easier.

[@RobertoMikiMD]

ice should help!

[@RobertoMikiMD]

You r very welcome. I am happy that it helped. Thanks for watching!

[@devdevthrills]

Not sure what I’m doing wrong, but the floss just slides and scrapes across the skin and doesn’t take the ring with it.

[@RobertoMikiMD]

You can try a different type of dental floss or use a string. You can also use a ribbon. You may need to get a ring cutter.

[@rosieclindist373]

Some one hacked a old computer .what kind of website is this

[@RobertoMikiMD]

Not sure what you mean

[@tommototo]

I tried this exactly as shown, and words cannot express just how much it did not work

[@RobertoMikiMD]

The technique does not work for every case. Hopefully, you were able to remove ring. Ring cutters work as well.

[@herrlip72]

little cooking oil ,on the finger also helps with this

[@RobertoMikiMD]

That works in many cases!

[@chrisoltorik]

With my luck the patient would reflexively put the ring back on

[@RobertoMikiMD]

Hahaha! We must have the same patient population!

[@asria676]

Cara ini sangat menyiksa ,,,,dn sngt sakit , ,Cara nya,,, Rendam pake Air Es,,,? Untuk beberapa menit Hingga telapak dn jari jari terasa dingin Dan tangan lansung angkat ke atas posisi jari lurus ? Biarkan tangan posisi ke atas , 5 - 10 menit Kemudian di beri pelumas,,dan tangan tetap posisi di atas jari jari tetap lurus? Dn putar cincin pelan pelan Sambil memposisi kan cincin agar kulit tidak tertarik ,,? Maka cincin bisa di lepas,,,dan tidak menyiksa??

There is more than one method to remove a ring. The one you describe should work as well but may take a little longer.
