Device Description

The tip of one of the distal blades forming the scissors-like cutting mechanism is usually rounded along it bottom edge to prevent injury to the patient as the cast is cut. This device is typically made of high-grade stainless steel and will usually be provided with a spring mechanism to assist in opening the jaws. This is a reusable device.
