Glove method of ring removal

This technique has the advantage of causing minimal additional pain, and can be used with finger fractures or soft tissue injuries and lacerations. Cut one finger from a surgical glove to form a cylindrical sleeve.
(A) Place this sleeve on the involved digit and slip the proximal end circumferentially under the ring using a hemostat.
(B) Once in place, pull the proximal end back over the ring and toward the tip of the digit in a twisting motion, advancing the ring distally. Avoid pulling so hard that the glove rips or pulls out from under the ring.
