ABSTRACT:
An orthopedic cast spacing and spreading device including a first othogonal member having one end face and mutually parallel sidewall surfaces and a second orthogonal member having a generally planar end face and mutually sidewall surfaces. The other ends of the first and second orthogonal members are coaxially joined and at least one flange laterally projects from said orthopedic cast spacing and spreading device at the junction of said first and second orthogonal members. A physician may selectively insert either said first orthogonal member or said second orthogonal member into a kerf formed in a patient's cast to relieve pressure created by the cast in the event of swelling of patient's limb.
