Sklar Edge TC Bruns Plaster Shears
A nine and a half inch tungsten carbide shears used to cut through plaster casts safely during cast removal in orthopedic and emergency care.
The Sklar Edge Bruns Plaster Shears is built to cut through the thickness of a plaster cast when it needs to be removed or adjusted, a task that calls for a strong, sharp blade capable of working through a hard material without the same finesse required for cutting soft tissue. Its tungsten carbide cutting edges hold up to the wear that cutting plaster places on a blade, extending the useful life of the instrument compared with a plain stainless steel equivalent used for the same repeated task.
At nine and a half inches, the shears offer the leverage needed to cut through cast material with controlled hand force rather than excessive effort. Plaster shears of this kind are used by orthopedic surgeons, cast technicians and emergency department staff whenever a cast needs to be split open, removed or trimmed, whether for a scheduled follow-up or an urgent clinical reason such as swelling beneath the cast.
As a tungsten carbide instrument, it is built for the repeated cleaning and reprocessing appropriate to a reusable orthopedic instrument.
