My husband has a titanium ring for safety, but then we found that most ERs don't have the equipment to cut titanium, and degloving is the only option. I jumped on here and bought a safe ring immediately. Husband is safe and comfortable, and we just pull the titanium out for special occasions! We have been buying from SafeRingz since 2016. I believe this is our 3rd purchase. Replacements were only needed for a lost ring and to size up. I think he wore one out, but when I tell you he is an electrician, swims, plays sports, etc, and never takes it off. Eventually, yes, it can wear out with nonstop wear and many years. However, the cost is so great for the protection he gets. I had him try a competitor for a different color/style, and my husband hated how it felt. Came right back to SafeRingz. Amazing work this company is doing!!! Thank you!
