Cast breaker

A cast breaker is a reusable surgical tool designed to cut through and remove hardened plaster casts from a patient's limb or body. It features strong, curved blades with serrated inner surfaces that grip the cast material securely. By squeezing the handles together, the user applies force to break the cast into manageable pieces for safe removal.

These instruments are typically manufactured from high-grade stainless steel to ensure durability and repeated sterilization. They are supplied as standard orthopedic equipment in clinical settings where cast removal is routine. Regulatory classification and supply methods vary by jurisdiction and are determined by local medical device authorities.
