Stille Plaster Cast Shear 24cm

Clinical Application

Designed to safely and efficiently cut plaster and fiberglass casts, this cast shear is used by orthopedists, emergency clinicians, and cast technicians to remove immobilization materials during follow-up visits, wound inspection, or conversion to a different immobilization device. The tool enables controlled, layer-by-layer cutting of rigid cast materials while minimizing the risk of inadvertent soft-tissue injury when used with standard cast-removal technique.

Design & Configuration

The long-handle, short-blade geometry provides mechanical advantage and reach, allowing the operator to exert cutting force at the blade while maintaining a safe distance from the patient. Blunt, heavy-duty blades are intended to ride along the cast surface and reduce the chance of penetrating or catching on skin and soft tissue. The shear configuration delivers the leverage required to cut dense plaster and fiberglass laminates cleanly without the need for powered equipment.
