Stainless Steel (not coated)
Stainless Steel blades are not coated. They are, however, made of high carbon stainless alloy, which is “tempered” using a high-temperature hardening process that makes the steel much harder; therefore makes its teeth last longer during the cutting process. As the blade is used, the teeth gradually lose their sharpness over time. This results in a longer cutting time, and heat due to increased friction will be the result. A dull blade will produce so much heat that it may be felt by the patient even through the cast padding. A normal general orthopedic practice that removes 10 casts per week can expect a single stainless steel blade to last a month or two before needing to be changed.
As long as your blade is a HEX or PIN head configuration this blade will fit it. A PIN head is where the pin is in the shaft neck and a collar sits on top of the blade. Then the nut is put on to secure the blade to the shaft.

You get four rotations out of this blade so it gives you plenty of use!
