An obscuring cover for covering at least a portion of a saw that includes a saw body and a saw blade attached to the saw body is provided. The obscuring cover includes an interior cavity defined by at least one inner surface of the obscuring cover. The interior cavity is configured to removably receive at least a portion of the saw body. At least one securing member is at least partially located at least one of internal to and adjacent to the interior cavity. The at least one securing member is configured to removably engage an exterior portion of the saw to removably connect the obscuring cover to the saw. At least a portion of the obscuring cover is configured to at least partially visually obstruct a subject's view of the saw blade when the obscuring cover is connected to the saw.

The removable rubber bracelet for cast cutting is an attachment for a cast cutting saw that greatly reduces the occurrence of both abrasive and thermal injuries to patients during the cast removable process. The rubber bracelet has two parallel, arcuate, generally semicircular bands or arms extending from opposite ends of a crossbar. The bracelet has an inner core of a flexible, malleable, and at least semi-resilient material, such as copper or spring steel, for maintaining the shape of the bracelet, coated by a layer of rubber for protecting the patient's skin. The bracelet has a smaller, saw attachment band adapted for gripping a barrel of the cutting saw, and a larger guard band or arm adapted for being spaced apart from the rear edge of the saw's cutting blade in cantilever fashion to protect the patient from accidental cuts opposite the portion of the blade edge cutting the cast.

A method for accurately, rapidly and consistently cutting an opening in drape material for negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) uses a cutting device that includes a plurality of cutting members that can extend from a bottom surface of the cutting device. A cover may fit over the bottom to protect the cutting members. The cutting members may be positioned to define a cut-out shape having dimensions designed for use with a NPWT system. An adhesive material may be formed on the bottom surface of the cutting device, inside of the cut-out shape defined by the cutting members. In use, the user presses the cutting tool onto the drape to cause the cutting members to cut into the drape and the adhesive to stick to the drape. When the user lifts the device, the drape, cut to the correct size and shape, is removed from the foam dressing covering the wound.

A self-propelled cutter has a gear assembly to provide both downward and forward force on a material to be cut. A gear assembly includes a drive input gear that engages with a transfer gear and propulsion gear engaged with the transfer gear by a lever arm. The drive gear and transfer gear are coupled and fixed to the cutter body but the propulsion gear rotates about the transfer gear via the lever arm. This gear assembly enables the propulsion gear to move as required to provide both downward and forward force on a material to be cut, such as a cast. A self-propelled cutter may have a drive input that is coupled with a drive input device, such as a crank or an electric motor. A cutter may have a first gear assembly on a first side of the cutter body and a second gear assembly on a second side.

A cast removing tool includes a handle having a battery received therein, and a switch is connected to the handle and electrically connected to the battery. A link is connected to the handle and a motor is connected to the link. The motor has an output shaft which protrudes beyond the link and is connected to a cutting tool. The cutting tool is activated by the motor. A protection member is a curved member and connected to the handle. The protection member extends to be located beneath the cutting tool. The protection member is inserted between the cast and the patient's limb so as to avoid the cutting tool to hurt the patient.

A coreless roll of absorbent tissue web is provided, the web having a length and a width, and the roll defining a central axial hole that extends from a first end of the roll to a second end of the roll in a direction perpendicular to the length of the absorbent tissue web. The coreless roll has a high density. The absorbent tissue web includes an outer perforated length located in the periphery of the coreless roll, the outer perforated length having a plurality of perforation lines across the width of the absorbent tissue web such as to form individual sheets. The absorbent tissue web of the coreless roll further includes an inner unperforated length of the absorbent tissue web.
