Why Silicone Rings are Perfect for Healthcare Workers


Healthcare workers have a very important job to do, and caring for people when they are sick is not an easy task. It involves a lot of manual tasks with your hands, as well as the ability to keep everything clean and safe. For those reasons, many healthcare employees have discovered that wearing a traditional metal wedding band or a diamond ring is just not practical and have decided to make the switch to a silicone wedding ring.

While these rings are perfect for anyone in the healthcare field who needs or wants a comfortable, durable, and safe ring, they are ideal for:

  • EMTs

  • Nurses

  • Doctors

  • CNAs

  • Medical assistants

  • Nurse practitioners

  • Physician's assistants

  • Physical therapists

There are several reasons they make the perfect ring for a healthcare job.

Safety

When you work with your hands all day in a healthcare setting, you need a ring that won’t put your fingers at risk of injury. If your metal wedding band gets caught on something like a patient’s bed or clothing, it could get forcefully ripped off your finger and cause bruising, as well as serious muscle, bone, and tendon damage.

Your ring could also present a risk to your patients, especially if you wear a diamond ring where the diamond setting is on top of the metal band, or with prongs in the setting that might snag or scratch. These types of rings can make it harder to wear proper PPE like gloves as well.

A silicone ring is super soft and stretchy, designed to bend and flex with your hands as you move. If it happens to get caught on something, it will stretch or even break if needed to protect your hands and your patients. Plus it sits flush on your finger, so you won’t need to worry about tearing your gloves or snagging on anything.

Comfort

Silicone rings are also super comfortable, which makes them ideal for a demanding profession like medicine. The stretchy silicone instantly conforms to your finger, and after a few minutes of wearing it you probably won’t even realize you have it on, even if your fingers swell a little throughout the day.

Sanitary

Silicone rings are easy to clean and sanitize, which is perfect when you get chemicals or bodily fluids on yours inadvertently. It’s also made of medical-grade silicone so it won’t harbor bacteria or other germs at work. You can wash it with soap and warm water for basic cleaning, we as well as put it in the dishwasher or a pot of boiling water to sanitize it if it’s exposed to something more serious.
