The global cast saws market is experiencing significant growth and is expected to grow considerably in the next few years. Cast saw is cutting equipment used for cutting orthopedic casts wrapped around patient’s body part. It is often very difficult to cut the plaster with manual saws as they pose a risk of injuring the underlying limb below the plaster. Due to this reasons cast saws are a better option for cutting casts. Furthermore, they are typically classified on the basis of their power source, such as battery powered, pneumatic-powered, and electric powered. The battery powered cast saws are mobile and safe as compared with the electric type, which use an ac power source and are not as mobile. Further, some models of the electric powered cast saws come with the feature of sucking in all the debris that comes off during cast cutting. Furthermore, pneumatic cast saws use compressed air to move their blade and it is a cheaper option than the other types. Moreover, cast saws are a very common tool and are easily available in the market. Major places that use this equipment are hospitals, vet clinics, paramedics, and other such institutes. Key players in the cast saws industry adopt advanced technologies to increase the efficiency and productivity of their products to sustain the competition in the cast saws market.
