How Should A Plaster Cast On The Leg Be Removed?

My daughter s 1 month old son had a plaster cast put on his whole leg last Friday, to progressively correct a club foot. They were told she could take it off tonight, to let him relax before they return to the doctor tomorrow to have a new one put on. How do you get it off?

Hi
Thanks for trusting HealthCare magic for your health problems.

Plaster cast are removed with scizzers or cutter. However for 1 month child, I advise you to take help of Para medical staff or to ask treating physician himself to prevent unnecessary injury.
