Usual victims are children, adolescents and psychiatric patients . It causes obstruction to lymphatic and venous drainage leading to edema distal to constriction, which further leads to a neurovascular compromise and presents as a surgical emergency. Aims: We present a case of unconventional method used to salvage finger from foreign body entrapment. Case Report: A 21 year old Male presented to us with his right ring finger being stuck in a metallic curtain holder clamp. Multiple attempts were made to remove the entrapped finger with conventional methods and home remedies, subsequently, it was removed by an electric motor driven metal cutting saw, which brings a new treatment modality in such unusual cases. Discussion: Trapping of fingers in metallic constricting bands has solutions ranging from simple home remedies to specialized cutting instruments. Constriction can lead to obstruction of venous and lymphatic drainage leading to edema and hence further detoriating the constriction and arterial obstruction leads to gangrenous changes. In our case after several failed attempts using home remedies by patient, metallic curtain holding clamp was finally removed by an innovative method using an electric motor driven metallic cutting saw. Thus, this unconventional method is helpful for tackling such uncommon situations faced by doctors in emergency department. Conclusion: Electric cutting saw when used cautiously can help to remove Finger entrapment in metallic bands. It requires due diligence and patience to carry out the procedure to salvage the finger.&#13;
