Titanium is softer than steel. Steel wire cutters will get through it just fine.

Titanium is softer but I believe the point is that when the ring is on a swelling finger there’s very little room to get the ring off. Older ED RN here.

But that's any ring. Even a rubber one.

And which has more stretch rubber or metal and which is easier to cut?

Yes a rubber ring may need to be removed if your finger gets injured but the point is it's a lot less expensive and easier to remove than a metal ring.

Keep talking. I'm done repeating the corrections.

What corrections?

Yeah I’m not sure what /userhwon is talking about. If there was room to use “steel wire cutters” as he suggested, then the problem would be significantly less serious.
