Ak Nursing Academy on Instagram: "A plaster cutter, or cast saw, is a medical device that uses a rapidly oscillating or vibrating blade to safely remove orthopedic casts made from plaster of Paris (POP), fiberglass, and other synthetic materials. The blade's vibration cuts through the hard material without harming a patient's skin, which is flexible enough to move with the vibrations.

Medical | Science | Facts on Instagram: "A medical cast saw uses an oscillating blade that moves back and forth very rapidly, rather than spinning. This motion allows it to cut through hard, rigid materials like plaster or fiberglass, which resist movement and get abraded. However, soft tissues like skin can move with the blade’s vibrations, so they absorb the motion without being cut. This clever design makes it safe for removing casts without injuring the patient.😳 . . . #trendingreels #didyo
