Pin Head vs. Hex Head — What's the Difference?
Pin head saws have a pin running through the shaft neck; a collar sits on top of the blade and a nut secures it to the shaft. Hex head saws have a 6-sided hexagonal hub on top. This blade's universal hub design accommodates both configurations, making it a versatile stock item for any orthopedic department.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this blade fit my Stryker 840 cast saw?
Yes. The BSN Medical Stainless Steel blade (0295-220) is compatible with the Stryker 840 and older Stryker cast saw models. Its universal hub fits both pin and hex head configurations used on Stryker saws.
How do I know if my cast saw has a pin head or hex head?
A pin head saw has a pin running through the shaft neck with a collar and nut securing the blade. A hex head saw has a 6-sided hexagonal hub on top of the shaft. This blade fits both types, so you don't need to worry about compatibility.
How many uses can I get from one stainless steel cast saw blade?
BSN Medical stainless steel blades are designed to provide four usable rotations per blade, giving clinicians multiple uses before replacement is needed. Blade life varies depending on cast material (fiberglass vs. plaster) and cutting technique.
What is the difference between stainless steel, Teflon, Dicronite, and Titanium Nitride cast saw blades?
Stainless steel blades are the standard, cost-effective option for general cast removal. Teflon (PTFE) coated blades reduce friction and heat during cutting. Dicronite-coated blades offer extended blade life through a dry lubricant coating applied to stainless steel. Titanium Nitride (TiN) blades provide the hardest coating, maximizing sharpness retention and longevity for high-volume clinical settings.
Is cast removal painful for the patient?
Cast saws use an oscillating (back-and-forth) motion rather than a rotating blade, which prevents cutting of soft tissue. The saw vibrates against the hard cast material to break it apart. Patients may feel vibration and warmth, but a properly used cast saw with a sharp blade minimizes heat buildup and discomfort. Dull blades generate more heat — replacing blades regularly is important for patient comfort.
