Abstract

A heavy duty steel plate cutter was then procured and the steel mould was then cut into two parts across the circumference and the finger removed [Figure 1]b. Besides a small laceration on the finger that was left for secondary healing, no other injuries were noted. A number of household items such as soap solution, shampoos, Vaseline, butter, cooking oil, and baby oil have all been used as lubricants to manipulate and gently remove the finger stuck in a hole.
