Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the DeSoutter 20280 and the 20290 blade?
The 20280 is a 64mm blade suited for standard adult and pediatric casts. The 20290 is an 80mm blade designed for thick adult casts and long-arm applications. Both feature Ion Nitride coating and a segmented design, making them suitable for fiberglass, plaster, and polyester casts.
Can the DeSoutter 20280 cut fiberglass casts?
Yes. The 20280 Ion Nitride blade is the only DeSoutter coating recommended for fiberglass casts. It also works on plaster of Paris and polyester casts, making it the most versatile blade in the CC7/CC8 lineup.
What is the difference between Ion Nitride and Titanium Nitride (TiN) blades?
Ion Nitride blades like the 20280 are engineered to cut all cast types including fiberglass, plaster, and polyester. Titanium Nitride (TiN) blades such as the 19680 are optimized for plaster and polyester only and are not recommended for fiberglass. For mixed-cast clinical environments, Ion Nitride is the more versatile choice.
Is the 20280 the standard blade that comes with the CC7 and CC8 saws?
Yes. The DeSoutter 20280 64mm Ion Nitride segmented blade is the standard blade supplied with both the CC7 CleanCast and CC8 cast saw systems.
What is the difference between segmented and round cast saw blades?
Segmented blades have gaps cut into the blade edge, which reduces heat buildup and improves cutting speed through dense cast materials. Round (full-circle) blades provide a smoother cut and are often preferred for thinner or more delicate casts. The 20280 segmented design is ideal for fiberglass, plaster, and polyester casts where heat management and cutting speed are priorities.
