Plaster Shear with serrated blade lock 20cm

Clinical Application

Designed for removal, trimming and controlled separation of plaster casts, fiberglass splints and bulky dressings. The serrated cutting face helps engage coarse, rigid materials to reduce slippage while the shear action delivers the force needed to cut through hardened cast material. Common users include orthopaedic technicians, cast-room personnel, emergency department clinicians, and ambulatory surgery centers performing cast or splint management.

Design & Configuration

The scissor-style shear geometry converts hand force into a concentrated shearing action that is effective on rigid and layered materials. Serrations on the cutting blade provide positive purchase on textured surfaces (plaster, fiberglass, heavy gauze), minimizing material slip during cutting. The integrated blade lock secures the instrument in the closed position for safer handling and storage and helps maintain alignment of the blades during repetitive cuts. The 20 cm overall length offers reach and leverage for working around limbs and bulky dressings while maintaining control in confined clinical settings.
