Stille Plaster Cast Shear 30cm

Clinical Application

Designed for use in orthopedics, emergency departments, ambulatory surgery centers and clinic settings, this cast shear is intended to cut and remove plaster and synthetic casts, splints and bulky dressings. The long length provides improved reach for upper and lower extremity applications and greater mechanical advantage when shearing rigid cast material. Properly used, the instrument facilitates controlled removal of cast material while reducing the need for excessive manual force.

Design & Configuration

The 30 cm overall length combines long handles for leverage with a blade geometry optimized to engage and shear dense cast material. The extended reach allows clinicians to maintain a safer working distance from the patient’s limb and to access deeper or more proximal portions of a cast without repositioning the patient. The shear configuration concentrates force at the cutting edge, improving bite-through of layered plaster and synthetic fibers compared with standard scissors.
