Cast Saws Spare Skin

Skin can't be cut easily by a cast saw during cast removal. In clinics, the tool uses an oscillating blade that vibrates rather than spins, so skin moves with the blade while the rigid plaster or fiberglass does not. That motion concentrates force in the hard cast, which splits instead of slicing soft tissue. The design lets clinicians open and lift the cast safely when used with proper technique.
