Abstract: Method of manufacturing a recloseable version of a ring including: providing a first computer file defining a three dimensional ring volume of a ring that is not recloseable; providing a second computer file representing a three dimensional cutout volume defining a cutting block; adjusting parameters of the cutting block defined by the second digital file as necessary to size and/or dimension the cutting block to overlay of the cutting block over the ring; and overlaying the cutting block over the ring to remove portions of the three dimensional ring volume defined by the first computer file wherever the three dimensional ring volume and the three dimensional cutting block volume overlap, wherein the remaining volume defined by the modified first computer file corresponds to at least one portion of a recloseable version of the ring defined by the first computer file.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a sizing ring adapted to accurately fit an individual for a recloseable ring. The method includes: providing a generally arcuate member and having first and second ends; forming a segment of reduced cross sectional area along the generally arcuate member to form a living hinge therein and to define first and second shank portions; and configuring the first and second ends to form a connector such that the sizing ring is a one piece polymer member configured for movement between an open position, in which the sizing ring is adapted to be positioned over a portion of an appendage without sliding over a length of the appendage, and a closed position, in which the sizing ring is adapted to form a band around the appendage and has an inner surface that is generally circular to correspond to an associated ring size.
