Dust Shroud Repair Kit for Stryker 940 Cast Saw / 986 CastVac
This cast saw dust-shroud repair kit is designed to repair a damaged transparent dust-collection shroud used with a Stryker 940 cast cutter operating as part of a Stryker 986 CastVac system.
When the shroud or its attachment area is damaged but the cast saw body, oscillating mechanism, power system, vacuum hose, and CastVac unit remain serviceable, this kit may allow qualified repair personnel to restore the shroud assembly without shipping the complete system to a repair center.
Confirm the damaged component before ordering: This kit is for the transparent dust-collection shroud and associated repair hardware. It is not a motor, vacuum hose, filter, electrical, blade, or complete cast-saw repair kit.

What This Repair Kit Is Designed to Address
- A cracked or broken transparent dust-collection shroud
- Damage around the shroud attachment or mounting area
- A shroud assembly that no longer stays properly positioned
- Loss of effective dust capture caused specifically by shroud damage
- Damage that does not extend into the saw motor, oscillating head, power supply, cord, hose, or vacuum system
When This Kit May Not Be Appropriate
Do not assume the problem is limited to the shroud when the cast saw has been dropped or otherwise damaged. Professional service may be required when there is:
- Cracking or distortion of the cast-saw housing
- Damage to the oscillating head or blade-mounting mechanism
- Abnormal vibration, noise, heat, or electrical odor
- A damaged power cord, switch, plug, or internal wiring
- Loss of vacuum caused by the hose, filter, motor, seal, or CastVac unit
- Missing mounting structures that the supplied hardware cannot securely engage
- Any condition that prevents the shroud from being installed securely and correctly
Key Features
- Application-specific repair kit: Designed for the transparent dust shroud used with the Stryker 940 and 986 CastVac configuration.
- Repair components included: Contains purpose-designed repair parts and hardware for the shroud repair.
- Instructions included: Follow the directions supplied with the kit rather than relying on a generic cast-saw disassembly procedure.
- Potential in-house repair: May reduce equipment downtime when installed by personnel qualified to service powered medical equipment.
- Targeted repair: Intended for shroud-related damage rather than a complete cast-saw or vacuum rebuild.
Before Ordering
- Confirm the cast cutter model. Verify that the cast saw is a Stryker 940 used with the applicable dust-collection configuration.
- Identify the failed component. Confirm that the transparent shroud or its mounting area is the source of the problem.
- Inspect for additional damage. Look for cracks, electrical damage, abnormal movement, or damage to the saw head and housing.
- Review the product images. Compare the pictured repair components and shroud location with the equipment being repaired.
- Contact OrthoTape when uncertain. Send clear photographs of the saw model label and damaged area to sales@orthotape.com before ordering.
Installation and Safety
This repair should be performed by a biomedical equipment technician, qualified maintenance professional, cast-saw repair technician, or other person trained to service powered medical equipment.
- Disconnect the cast saw and vacuum system from electrical power before inspection or repair.
- Follow the instructions included with the repair kit.
- Do not improvise fasteners, adhesives, mounting parts, or repairs not described in the supplied instructions.
- Confirm that the shroud is securely mounted and correctly aligned.
- Inspect the vacuum hose and connection points for leaks or damage.
