A protective system for a cast saw includes a voltage source and a processor coupled to the voltage source. The processor is configured to apply a voltage to a saw blade of a cast saw. The processor is also configured to receive a voltage reading taken across a conductive layer that is at least partially embedded in a cast. The processor is also configured to determine whether the received voltage reading exceeds a threshold voltage. Responsive to a determination that the received voltage exceeds the threshold voltage, the processor is further configured to activate an alarm to warn a user of the cast saw that the saw blade is in contact with the conductive layer.

A bandage configured to be administered from a continuous roll, comprising: (I) a first layer of flexible webbed material, the first layer including a self-adhesive disposed on a top surface; and (II) a second layer of flexible padded material adhered to the first layer along a longitudinal axis by the self-adhesive, the second layer having a width less than a width of the first layer so that a portion of the self-adhesive is exposed on each longitudinal side of the second layer; wherein the self-adhesive may releasably adhere to a bottom surface of the first layer in a rolled form so that, when unrolled, an adhesive bond is broken free of damaging the first layer; and wherein, when the self-adhesive is bonded to itself and opposing adhesive potions, the resulting peel strength is greater than a peel strength when the self-adhesive is bonded to skin.

A device for dispensing adhesive tape or for dispensing medical products stored on a roll, comprising a base plate, fitted with a pin upon which a roll or adhesive tape is attached, further a tearing section with a tearing blade spaced at a distance from the pin. The base plate is associated with a fastening section for partially gripping a rod, a bar or the like, wherein the fastening section comprises an arm connected to the base plate, merging with a crosspiece, which is fixed to a free arm such that the rod, bar or the like can be accommodated between the free arm and the connected arm, at least one fastening unit being provided to join the connected arm to the free arm.

Apparatus is provided for a medical cutting device, specifically, a cast removal apparatus designed for the removal of orthopedic casts generally applied for immobilization, which apparatus comprises a temperature safety system and/or a burn reduction system. The use of any saw for cast removal creates a potential for patient discomfort and iatrogenic injury, including but not limited to burns which can leave unsightly scars and wound complications. The apparatuses presented comprise a housing for a temperature control system and motor, which motor can be controlled by the temperature control system to control a cast saw blade, with at least one temperature sensor to sense temperature information regarding at least one cutting region of the blade. The temperature information is used by the temperature control system to control the motor. The apparatuses presented comprise a burn reduction system with cast saw blade coolant or lubricant and coolant or lubricant applicators.
