ABSTRACT:
A device for and a method of removing a cast from a body member. A flexible elongated strip member is attached to the body member before the cast is applied thereto. The strip member is provided with an elongated aperture along the longitudinal axis thereof. When it is desired to remove the cast, the first end of a flexible elongated saw member is inserted through the elongated aperture in the strip member until a portion of the first end of the saw member extends past the strip member. The first end of the saw member is smooth while the second end thereof includes a plurality of saw teeth mounted thereon and includes a handle member fixedly attached thereto. After the first end of the saw member is inserted through the elongated aperture in the strip member, a handle member is attached to the portion of the smooth first end of the saw member that extends past the strip member. The saw member is then moved back and forth within the elongated aperture in the strip member to cut through the cast.
