title: Removal of plaster of paris by means of a schismostat.
abstract: The Schismostat is the result of experiments to remove plaster casts quickly and without fear of injury to the patient, with the emphasis on safety. Cutting equipment, particularly the blade of an electric saw, frequently causes damage. The Schismostat can be used on plasters as soon as they are applied, and it does not matter whether they are padded or not. The technique does require, however, that the plaster be applied in a particular manner.
