Bergmann Plaster Of Paris Saw

Description

Bergmann Plaster Of Paris Saw

The Bergmann plaster saw is an 18 cm hand saw of the Bergmann pattern. It cuts set plaster of Paris along a planned line.

Bergmann plaster saw length

At 18 cm, this saw is a little longer than our Engel saw. Therefore it gives longer strokes on leg and body casts. It still handles arm casts well.

A historic name

Ernst von Bergmann was a pioneer of aseptic surgery. Like many names from that era, Bergmann lives on in instrument patterns. Moreover, this saw follows that tradition.

Who uses the Bergmann plaster saw

Cast technicians use hand saws for controlled, quiet cuts. Also, fracture clinics use them on children and anxious patients. Outreach clinics rely on them where power is scarce.

Cutting technique

Mark the line, then start with short strokes. Next, use smooth, full strokes to cut through. Leave the padding for shears.

Hand or electric

Electric saws are faster on thick casts. However, a hand saw is quiet and needs no power. In addition, many cast rooms keep both.

Teeth and maintenance

Plaster dust packs into saw teeth quickly. Consequently, clean the teeth after every cast. Clean teeth cut faster and more safely.
