A cast spreader is a reusable hand tool used in orthopedic care to safely remove hardened plaster casts. Its serrated, wedge-shaped blades are inserted between the plaster and skin, allowing clinicians to gently separate and remove the cast without damaging the underlying limb or tissue.
These devices are typically regulated as surgical instruments and must meet standards for durability, sterility processes, and patient safety. They are often supplied as part of orthopedic trauma or fracture care kits, requiring proper maintenance to ensure repeated use without compromising performance or hygiene.
