It uses a serrated cutting wheel and a thin support to cut through the ring without damaging surrounding tissue, reducing the risk of injury during removal.
These devices are typically reusable and regulated as surgical instruments, often requiring compliance with medical device standards for safety and performance. They are supplied sterile or as clean surgical tools, depending on the manufacturer’s specifications and local regulatory requirements.
