Stryker Model 82 Cast Spreader | 4-Prong Cast Breaker

Stryker Model 82 Cast Spreader — 4-Prong Clinical Cast Breaker

The Stryker 82 Cast Spreader's innovative design features four prongs or "teeth" which effectively cover a larger surface area in each use. Compared to the less effective three-tooth spreaders, this hand-held cast spreader/breaker is a more efficient and worthwhile investment, as confirmed by those who have used the Model 82.

Why the 4-Prong Design Matters

Traditional three-tooth cast spreaders concentrate force at three narrow contact points. The Stryker Model 82's four-prong configuration distributes that force more evenly across the cast material, reducing the effort required per spread and improving patient comfort during cast removal. Clinicians who have switched to the Model 82 consistently report faster, more controlled cast openings.
