Podcast 753: Ring Cutting Raptors

Podcast 753: Ring Cutting Raptors

Contributor: Aaron Lessen, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Techniques regarding ring removal in the ED were evaluated in a recent study which looked at using trauma shears versus the motorized ring cutters
  • A certain type of trauma shear has a ring-cutter attached to it, 7 seconds to remove vs. about 70 seconds for motorized ring cutters
  • Both the users of the devices and the patients preferred the ring-cutter shears
