A ring-removal device, the Ring Rescue cutter, co-invented by Dr. Kevin Spencer from Dartmouth, N.S., is featured in the HBO medical drama The Pitt. Created with engineers Patrick Hennessey and Brad MacKeil, the device is now used in over 2,200 medical facilities across North America, offering a safer alternative for removing stuck rings. It automates the cutting process while protecting the patient’s finger, and has already saved individuals from serious injuries.
