Fantastic boot! Super comfortable and love the air pump for additional ankle support. I actually put 20k steps on it the other day doing yard work and felt just fine. Highly recommended!
beautiful
Good stuff
Perfect Plaster for sensitive skin areas.

DeSoutter 7310 — Circular Diamond Coated Cast Saw Blade
The DeSoutter 7310 is a 2½" (64mm) circular diamond coated replacement cast saw blade designed for the DeSoutter CleanCast CC4, CC5, and CC6 cast saw systems. Diamond coating places this blade at the top of the performance hierarchy — the premium choice for clinics cutting high volumes of fiberglass casts.
🔬 What Is Diamond Coating — And Why Does It Matter?
Cast saw blades are all made from a stainless steel base. What separates them is the coating applied to the cutting edge — and diamond coating is the most advanced option available. Synthetic diamond particles are bonded to the cutting edge using a heat-and-pressure process: diamond crystals are heated with powdered metal and pressed into a mold, forming an exceptionally hard cutting surface.
The result is a blade that:
- ✅ Cuts harder cast materials with less effort and less heat
- ✅ Maintains sharpness significantly longer than coated or uncoated steel blades
- ✅ Reduces friction and drag through fiberglass cast material
- ✅ Delivers a faster, cleaner cut — improving patient comfort during removal
📊 Cast Saw Blade Coating Comparison — Strongest to Weakest
Understanding blade coatings helps you choose the right blade for your clinical volume and cast material. All blades start with a stainless steel base — the coating determines longevity, heat generation, and cutting performance.
| Rank | Coating Type | How It Works | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| ⭐ #1 | Diamond Coated ← You are here | Synthetic diamond particles heat-pressed onto the cutting edge — the hardest cutting surface available | High-volume fiberglass cutting; maximum blade life |
| #2 | Dichronite (Tungsten Disulfide) | Dry film lubrication applied under high air pressure; bonds tightly to steel for a very lubricious surface | Extended blade life; cooler cutting temperatures |
| #3 | Ion Nitride (Plasma Coated) | Electron bombardment of nitrogen ions in a vacuum vessel creates a near-diamond hardness surface with very low drag | High durability; smooth, low-friction cutting |
| #4 | Titanium Nitride | Gold ceramic coating applied to steel; dramatically reduces drag coefficient and keeps teeth sharper longer | Cooler cutting; longer tooth sharpness vs. uncoated |
| #5 | PTFE (Teflon Coated) | Spray-applied non-stick coating; low friction but tends to wear off after initial use | Budget-friendly; good for lower-volume practices |
| #6 | Stainless Steel (Uncoated) | High-carbon stainless alloy tempered at high temperature; no coating — teeth dull gradually with use | Low-volume practices; most economical entry point |

⏱️ When Should You Replace Your Cast Saw Blade?
A patient is always aware of a cast saw near their limb — so a blade that struggles to cut cleanly is a problem on two fronts: it takes longer and generates more heat. Signs it's time to replace your blade:
- The blade requires more passes or pressure to cut through the cast
- Increased heat felt through the cast padding during removal
- Longer cast removal times than usual
- Visible wear or dullness on the cutting edge
Diamond coated blades last significantly longer than uncoated stainless steel blades — making them a cost-effective choice for high-volume orthopedic practices.
