Plaster Of Paris Shears Saw Edge

These saw edge plaster shears are 20 cm long, with a serrated blade that grips the plaster as it cuts. They open and trim plaster of Paris casts.

Why a saw edge

Smooth blades can slide on hard plaster. Therefore a serrated edge bites into the material and holds the line. As a result, the cut stays straight.

A 20 cm length

At 20 cm, these shears are light and easy to handle. Consequently, they suit arm casts, children’s casts and trimming work. However, heavier casts may need a longer shear.

Who uses saw edge plaster shears

Cast room staff trim edges and remove small casts with them. Also, emergency rooms use them on splints and backslabs. In addition, pediatric clinics like the light weight.

Technique

Slip the lower blade under the plaster, above the padding. Then cut in short, steady bites. Above all, keep the lower blade flat to protect the skin.

Trimming backslabs

Backslabs and splints often need small adjustments. So light shears make quick work of the edges. In turn, smooth edges help comfort.
