ENGEL 14 cm plaster knife: control and safety at the heart of medical procedures
The ENGEL 14 cm from Frimed is a robust and compact hand tool designed to meet the specific needs of healthcare professionals who have to cut plaster or resin. This knife is essential in orthopaedic care, particularly when removing rigid restraints. This model stands out for its distinctive design, combining a hooked serrated blade with a closed loop handle for an ergonomic and secure grip.
The short, finely serrated blade is specially designed to penetrate rigid materials easily while minimising the risk of slipping. Its hook-shaped curvature allows the cut to be guided without excessive pressure, thus protecting the underlying tissue. Thanks to its precise design, the user can make clean, controlled cuts, even in complex or sensitive anatomical areas. It is a particularly popular instrument in emergency departments, trauma units and specialist practices.
The closed loop handle ensures a firm grip on the tool, reducing hand fatigue and allowing better control of movement. This type of grip is highly sought after by practitioners for procedures requiring constant hand stability, particularly when the cut must be gradual or adjusted to suit the patient. The compact design of the instrument, which is 14 cm long, makes it easy to use in confined spaces while ensuring optimal manoeuvrability.
Made of stainless steel, the ENGEL knife is sterilisable and designed to withstand repeated use in a medical environment. It meets the most stringent hygiene requirements and offers a long service life thanks to the quality of its materials.
The ENGEL 14 cm is a simple, precise and safe instrument, designed to effectively assist professionals in removing plaster casts, while ensuring patient comfort and safety.
