Abstract
A device for protecting a patient during removal of an immobilizing cast. The device is of a U-shaped configuration and includes an elongated planar shield and an elongated planar guide connected with the shield, at one end thereof and disposed in superimposed parallelism with the shield, whereby the shield is adapted to be inserted between the adjacent surfaces of the skin of a patient and a cast to be removed, and employed for both guiding a cutter along the external surface of the cast and shielding the patient from the cutter as it is caused to penetrate the cast.
