Hermann Plaster Cast Instrument

Description

Hermann Plaster Cast Instrument

The Hermann cast instrument is a large, 48 cm hand tool for plaster cast work. Its long handles give strong leverage on heavy casts.

A large Hermann cast instrument

At 48 cm, this is the longest cast tool in our range. Therefore it gives far more leverage than a short spreader. Besides, heavy casts open with less effort.

Two-handed use

A tool this long is best used with both hands. Meanwhile, the long handles keep the user’s hands away from the cast. In addition, that gives a steady, controlled action.

Who uses the Hermann cast instrument

Cast rooms that handle hip spica and full leg casts benefit most. Also, orthopedic wards with heavy casts use long tools. Furthermore, some clinics keep one for difficult removals.

Confirming the jaws

Our listing gives the pattern and length only. So we send a photo of the jaws on request. Moreover, that helps you match it to your needs.

Heavy casts

Thick casts and fiberglass layers resist small tools. Consequently, extra leverage saves time and strain. It also reduces fatigue for staff.

Storage

A 48 cm tool needs a long drawer or a wall hook. Therefore plan its place in the cast room. Keep it clean and dry between uses.
