Description

Engel Plaster Of Paris Saws

The Engel plaster saw is a small, 15 cm hand saw for set plaster of Paris. It cuts through hard casts where a knife would struggle.

Why a hand plaster saw

Set plaster is hard and thick. Therefore a toothed blade cuts it faster than a knife. Furthermore, a hand saw needs no power and makes little noise.

The small Engel plaster saw

At 15 cm, the Engel is our shortest plaster saw. As a result, it suits small casts on the arm, hand and foot. It also fits in a cast trolley drawer.

Who uses the Engel plaster saw

Cast rooms use hand saws for quiet, simple cuts. Also, pediatric clinics like them because they avoid the noise of an electric saw. Outreach teams use them where power is limited.

Technique

Start a groove with short strokes along the planned line. Then deepen it with steady, even strokes. Stop before the padding and finish with shears.

Quiet removal for children

Electric cast saws can frighten young patients. In contrast, a hand saw is quiet and slow. Besides, that can make cast removal calmer.

Pairing tools

A saw cuts the line, and a spreader opens it. Consequently, keep both on the cast trolley. We list spreaders and breakers too.
