BSN Medical Teflon PTFE Cast Saw Blade — Fits Stryker 840 & American Orthopedic Saws

The BSN Medical Teflon PTFE Cast Saw Blade is a clinical-grade replacement blade featuring a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coating that significantly reduces friction and heat generation during cast removal. Designed for orthopedic clinics, hospitals, and emergency departments, this blade's universal hub fits both pin and hex head cast saws, including Stryker 840-style saws, American Orthopedic, M-Pact, and other older-model cast saws. The Teflon coating makes this blade an excellent choice when patient comfort and reduced thermal buildup are priorities.

Key Features

• Teflon (PTFE) coating — reduces friction and heat during cast cutting
• Improved patient comfort compared to uncoated stainless steel blades
• Universal hub — fits both pin head and hex head cast saw configurations
• 2.5" blade diameter — standard size for most clinical cast saws
• Rugged construction for cutting fiberglass and plaster casting materials
• SKU: 31-0265 | Catalog #: 7203315

Saw Compatibility

• Stryker 840 and older Stryker cast saw models
• American Orthopedic pin and hex saws
• M-Pact cast saws
• Most pin and hex hub cast saws

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

What does the Teflon (PTFE) coating do on a cast saw blade?

Teflon (PTFE) is a low-friction coating that reduces the resistance between the blade and the cast material during cutting. This reduces heat buildup at the blade surface, improving patient comfort and helping the blade glide more smoothly through fiberglass and plaster casts.

Will this blade fit my Stryker 840 cast saw?

Yes. The BSN Medical Teflon PTFE blade (31-0265) 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.

What is the difference between Teflon, Dicronite, Titanium Nitride, and stainless steel cast saw blades?

Stainless steel blades are the standard, cost-effective option. Teflon (PTFE) coated blades reduce friction and heat during cutting for improved patient comfort. Dicronite-coated blades extend blade life through a dry lubricant coating. Titanium Nitride (TiN) blades provide the hardest coating for maximum sharpness retention in 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. Patients may feel vibration and warmth. Teflon-coated blades help minimize heat buildup at the blade surface, making the cast removal experience more comfortable for the patient.
