[edit] Plaster cast removal

Need information about the tools used to cut off casts. What blades are used and how does the orthopedic doctor avoid cutting skin?


A small mains powered plaster saw is used, which has a specially designed blade that vibrates at low amplitude. In this way it will only cut stiff materials like the plaster, but not soft bandages or skin.

[edit] How much does it weigh?

Any idea how much an arm cast might weigh? ```` —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wendy.comer (talk • contribs) 15:00, 6 March 2007 (UTC).
