Henning Plaster Spreader 28cm

Clinical Application

Used in orthopedics, urgent care and cast clinics to separate rigid cast material and create controlled openings or gaps in plaster and synthetic casts. The instrument is inserted into a cut or seam in the cast and used to gently pry the material apart, facilitating visualization, removal of padding, or creation of a window for wound care or imaging without applying direct pressure to underlying soft tissues.

Design & Configuration

The elongated 28 cm length provides reach and mechanical advantage when working on lower extremities or larger casts, allowing the clinician to maintain a safe distance from the patient while applying controlled leverage. The spreading blades are broad and blunt to distribute force across the cast material and minimize the risk of concentrated pressure against the skin. The hand-held single-piece configuration offers predictable tactile feedback during insertion and spreading.
