Description
DeSoutter 19700 — PTFE Coated Segmented Cast Saw Blade 40mm (5-Pack)
The DeSoutter 19700 is a 40mm PTFE coated segmented replacement cast saw blade for the DeSoutter CleanCast CC7 and CC8 systems, sold in a 5-pack. The 40mm diameter sits between the 32mm precision blade and the 64mm everyday workhorse — purpose-built for upper extremity work: wrist casts, short arm casts, forearm casts, and pediatric leg casts where a 64mm blade is too large to maneuver comfortably. The segmented design reduces heat buildup, while the PTFE coating provides a low-friction cutting surface that runs cool on plaster and polyester casts while the coating remains intact.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the DeSoutter 19700 40mm blade used for?
The 19700 is designed for upper extremity cast removal: wrist casts, short arm casts, forearm casts, and pediatric leg casts. It fills the gap between the 32mm precision blade and the 64mm everyday workhorse, offering efficient cutting in tighter anatomical areas where a 64mm blade would be unwieldy.
Can the DeSoutter 19700 cut fiberglass casts?
No. The 19700 PTFE blade is not recommended for fiberglass casts. For fiberglass, use the Ion Nitride blade (part number 20280 for 64mm or 20290 for 80mm), which is the only DeSoutter coating recommended for fiberglass.
How long does the PTFE coating last on the 19700 blade?
PTFE coating tends to wear off after initial use, gradually degrading toward uncoated stainless steel performance. Monitor blade performance closely and replace promptly when cutting becomes less efficient. The 5-pack format and 5-position rotatable mount help maximize value.
Is the 40mm blade available in a harder coating like TiN or ZrN?
No. The 40mm blade size is only available in PTFE coating for the CC7/CC8 platform. For higher-volume upper extremity cast work, rotate blades more frequently and keep extra 5-packs on hand to ensure a fresh blade is always in use.
What is the difference between the 40mm and 32mm PTFE segmented blades?
The 40mm (19700) is suited for wrists, forearms, short arm casts, and pediatric leg casts where moderate cutting depth is needed. The 32mm (19670) is the smallest blade for the tightest anatomical areas — fingers, toes, and very small pediatric casts where a 40mm blade would be too large to maneuver safely.
