Stille Plaster Cast Shear 26cm

Clinical Application

Designed for safe, efficient removal of plaster and synthetic casts and splints in orthopedics, emergency departments, outpatient clinics and surgery centers. The instrument permits controlled shearing of rigid cast material while minimizing the risk of soft-tissue injury by allowing the lower blade to protect underlying padding and skin. Common users include orthopedic surgeons, cast technicians and ER clinicians for routine cast changes, clinical assessment and urgent removal.

Design & Configuration

The scissor-style, long-handled geometry provides mechanical advantage and reach to cut through dense cast material with controlled force. Broad, blunt-tipped blades and a protective lower jaw allow the clinician to slide the lower blade between cast and padding, creating a safe cutting plane that reduces the chance of skin laceration. Ring handles offer familiar ergonomic control for precise, single-handed shearing during cast removal procedures.
