An angled, serrated plaster shears built for one hand use, letting staff cut through plaster casts quickly while supporting the limb with the other hand.
The Sklar Stille Plaster Shears is designed for removing or adjusting plaster of Paris casts with an angled blade profile that keeps the cutting edge away from the skin as it advances. Its serrated edge grips the plaster to prevent slipping, and the shape of the shears is built specifically for one hand operation, letting the clinician support and stabilise the patient's limb with the free hand while cutting.
This listing spans several lengths of the Stille pattern, giving orthopaedic and emergency departments a choice depending on cast thickness and the size of the limb being treated. Plaster shears of this design are used on orthopaedic wards, in fracture clinics and in emergency departments whenever a cast needs to be split, removed or trimmed.
Nurses, orthopaedic technicians and doctors are the typical users. Being reusable, it is cleaned and disinfected or sterilized between patients according to the facility's protocol for this class of equipment.
