Henning Plaster Spreader

serrated, 11″ (28.0 cm) Henning Plaster Spreader is an instrument that can be used to aid in the process of cast removal. A variety of orthopedic and other surgical procedures such as fracture repair require for the bone to be in a specific alignment as it heals and this can be accomplished via a plaster cast. Removal of this cast requires specific equipment suited for manipulating this material such as this spreader with a serrated edge which can be inserted after a saw cut has been made to spread that cut apart further to allow instrumentation to remove the cast.
