Cast Saw

 A Plaster Cutter, most commonly an oscillating saw, is a specialized medical power tool designed to safely cut through and remove rigid orthopedic casts and splints. Its rapidly oscillating blade abrades hard casting materials (plaster or fiberglass) but deflects upon contact with the soft underlying padding and skin, minimizing injury risk. It is an essential device in orthopedics for routine and emergency cast removal, requiring proper technique, use of dust extraction, and patient communication to ensure safety and efficiency during the cast removal procedure.
