Description
Cast Cutting Device
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a cast cutter for the removal of orthopaedic casts from limbs or other parts of the body.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
It is common to remove an orthopaedic case such as a plaster cast from the limb or other body part of a patient by cutting the cast. It is known to cut a cast using an oscillating saw.
However, there are drawbacks to such a tool. An oscillating saw operated at high speed, creating significant noise, can intimidate and/or alarm patients particularly young patients.
Large amounts of dust are created as the cast is cut, which is particularly undesirable in a clinical environment. The high speed at which the saw oscillates also causes the saw blade to heat up, increasing the risk of burning a patient. The vibrations created by an oscillating saw can also lead to repetitive strain injury to an operator.
It is also known to cut a cast using powered scissors. However, there are, again, downsides to such a tool, Injury can be caused to a patient by the scissor movement, Powered scissors may be heavy and unwieldy, considerable effort may be required on the part of the operator to manipulate the scissors, and there is a risk of repetitive strain injury to the operator.
Both of the above tool types require multiple moving parts and complicated drive mechanisms.
There is a need for an improved cast cutter.
SUMtvIARY OF THE INVENTION j The present invention seeks to address or mitigate at least some of the problems associated with conventional cast cutters, The present invention seeks to provide an alternative and improved cast cutter.
I
A first aspect of the invention relates to a cast cutting device comprising a housing; a blade for cutting a cast and a guide for guiding the cast towards engagement with the blade.
The blade is rotatably mounted on the housing so as to cut the cast as it rotates. By using a rotating motion, the blade is able to cut through the cast at a substantially lower speed than a conventional oscillating blade. Thus, the excessive heat, noise, dust and vibration problems associated with oscillating blades are advantageously avoided.
The guide is configured to be locatable under the cast during use and comprises a recess to receive the cutting edge of the blade. The guide acts as a protective buffer as the blade cuts through the cast. As a result, contact between the rotating blade and patient is inhibited.
The guide may comprise a forward portion and a rear portion, The forward portion of the guide is preferably configured to direct the cast towards the blade so as to enhance cutting engagement with the Nade. In an embodiment, the front portion of the guide is tapered so as to steer the cast towards the rear portion.
The rear portion of the guide is preferably configured to support a portion of the cast during cutting. This helps to stabilise the cast during the cutting process and restricts bending of the cast proximate the cutting area.
The recess may be any suitable shape to receive the blade, In an embodiment, the recess is a channel. The channel may be at least partially formed in the rear portion of the guide, In an embodiment, the cutting edge of the blade may be divided into multiple cutting sections, Each of the multiple sections of the cutting edge may be substantially straight or curved.
The cutting edge may comprise a continuous circumferential profile or a discontinuous circumferential profile, In an embodiment, the discontinuous cutting edge may comprise at least one leading edge configured to engage the cast and move the cast in the direction of rotation. As result, the device requires less force in use to cut through the cast.
The blade may comprise a chamfered cutting edge.
The blade may be rotatable in both a clockwise and an anti-clockwise direction. By rotating in both directions, the blade is able to be rotated in a clockwise direction to cut the cast and rotated in an anti-clockwise direction so as to release the blade from the cast, for example if the blade becomes snagged during cutting.
The device may comprise a drive mechanism configured to rotatably drive the blade. By providing a drive mechanism, the user effort required to cut the cast is reduced and the user need only guide the device in a desirable direction across the cast. The drive mechanism may be located within the housing. The drive mechanism may be configured to rotate the blade at a speed of approximately 25 to 100 rpm.
The housing of the device may comprise a front cover plate. The guide may be fixedly or removably attached to the front cover plate.
The device may comprise a user display to indicate to a user the direction of rotation of the blade.
For safe use, the blade of the device is preferably substantially obscured from view by a portion of the housing.
To allow for easy handling, the housing preferably defines a handle extending at least substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the guide and at least substantially parallel to the pivot axis of the blade.
The cast cutting device is suitable for cutting any type of cast located on any part of a patients body. In an embodiment, the cast cutting device may cut a plaster cast located on the arm of a patient. n
A second aspect of the invention relates to a method of cutting a cast using a cast cutting device according to the first aspect of the invention.

Referring to figure 8, a second embodiment of a blade 120 for use with a cast cutting device lOin accordance with the invention is shown.
The second embodiment is similar to the first embodiment and the reference numerals for similar features of the second embodiment to those of the first embodiment have been increased by 100 for convenience, For example, the cutting edge of the blade which was identified with reference numeral 23 in the first embodiment, is identified with reference numeral 23 in the second embodiment.
In the second embodiment, the multiple sections t22 of the cutting edge 123 of the blade t20 is curved rather than straight. In addition, there is a step change between the cutting edges 123 of neighbouring sections 122 so as to define a discontinuous circumferential profile.
The cutting edge 123 of the blade 120 as such comprises at least one leading edge configured to engage the cast and move the cast in a direction of rotation of the blade 120.
Referring to figure 9, a third embodiment of a blade 220 for use with a cast cutting device 10 in accordance with the invention is shown, The third embodiment is similar to the second embodiment and the reference numerals for similar features of the third embodiment to those of the second embodiment have been increased by 100 for convenience, For example, the cutting edge of the blade which was identified with reference numeral 123 in the second embodiment, is identified with reference numeral 223 in the third embodiment. j
As in the second embodiment, the blade 220 comprises a discontinuous circumferential cutting edge 223 profile with a step change between the cutting edges 223 of neighbouring sections 222.
In the third embodiment, rather than the sections 222 comprising a substantially curved profile, the sections 222 comprise a first part 222a that is substantially straight and a second part 222b that is substantially curved with the second part 222b defining the leading edge of each section. It would be understood the ratio of the straight/curved parts of the sections 222 S may be different to that depicted in figure 9, With reference to figures 10 to 12, the use of the cast cutting device 10 in accordance with the invention to cut a cast 60 will now be described.
A user first presses the power button 46 to power the cast cutting device 10. When the cast cutting device 10 is on and the blade 20 is not rotating, both LEDs behind the arrows 50, 52 will light up and stay lit.
The user then positions the device 10 next to the cast 60 at the point at which the cast 60 is to be cut. The device is mounted at an edge of the cast 60 such that the guide 24 is located on the underside of the cast whilst the blade is arranged relative to the outerside of the cast 60. It would be understood that the device may be positioned next to the cast 60 prior to being switched on.
Once ready to use, the user proceeds to press the cut button 48. Once pressed the device starts turning the blade clockwise (looking at the device as it is held) and the left LED goes out and the left arrow 50 is no longer illuminated. This signifies that the cast cutting device 10 is now cutting in the forward direction.
As the blade 20 rotates and cuts through the cast 60, the guide 24 forms a protective buffer on the underside of the cast 60. The user moves the device 10 along the cast 60 in a desired direction to continue the cutting process as desired.
In the event of a snag or stall, the user presses the cut button 48 and the motor 30 changes direction and the rotational direction of the blade 20. The LEDs swap, with the left LED now being lit and the right LED going out so that the right arrow 52 is no longer illuminated and the left arrow is illuminated. As such, the illuminated arrow will always show the direction of travel of the blade 20.
The cut button 48 can be pressed over and over to toggle the change of direction.
Once finished, the user presses the power button 46 and the motor switches off and the blade stops and the LEDs go out.
In the event that the blade should become blunt or a different preferred blade configuration is to be used, a user can simply gain access to the blade to replace it by detaching the front cover plate 18 from the housing 12.
While the invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments, it would be understood that the invention is not restricted to the details of any foregoing embodiments.
The invention extends to any novel one, or any novel combination, of the features disclosed in this specification (including any accompanying claims, abstract and drawings), or to any novel one, or any novel combination, of the steps of any method or process so disdosed. In IL)
