%X Background: Various techniques have been described for removal of a tight constricting ring from a finger. A novel procedure is described in this article. Methods: The method is a modification of the string wrap or winding technique. A 1-inch Coban wrap, lubricant, and pickups are all that is required. Results: The author has used this method to remove constricting rings from swollen and arthritic fingers in 5 patients. The technique has been successful in all cases, and no complications occurred. Conclusions: The Coban method is a quick, easy, and inexpensive technique for ring removal from a finger. The technique should be taught to and known by every clinician who treats hand problems
