Stille Plaster Cast Shear 23cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled removal of rigid cast materials, this instrument is used to cut and lift plaster and fiberglass casts and to trim splints. Its blunt-tipped blade geometry reduces the risk of skin laceration while allowing the clinician to work directly adjacent to the patients limb. Typical users include orthopedic surgeons, emergency medicine clinicians, cast technicians, and ambulatory surgery centers when post-operative immobilization needs adjustment or removal.

Design & Configuration

The scissor-style configuration with ring handles provides precise manual control and tactile feedback during progressive cutting of cast material. At 23 cm overall length, the instrument balances reach and mechanical advantage: long enough to access most extremity casts while short enough to permit fine control near bony prominences. The broad, blunt-edged blades are configured to slide between cast and padding, permitting safe separation of rigid material from skin without sharp points that could catch or puncture the underlying dressing.
