A Plaster Knife, also known as a cast knife or orthopedic knife, is a specialized tool used to remove plaster or fiberglass casts in orthopedic settings. It features a sturdy, broad blade with a blunt, rounded tip and a sharp underside. The blunt tip is safely inserted between the cast and the underlying padding, while the sharp edge is used to cut through the rigid cast material. Its ergonomic handle provides control and leverage, allowing for quick and safe cast removal without injuring the patient’s skin.
