DEFINITION

Classification: 606/105.5

Cast removal implement:

(under subclass 105) Subject matter which provides a means for disengaging a plaster of Paris or the like immobilization splint from a body portion.

(1) Note. Casts typically have one or more layers of padding between the rigid cast shell and the body portion being treated which become adhered to the shell and make cast removal difficult without some form of prying device; vibratory cast "saws" are not proper for this subclass.
