A cast-cutter ( 10 ) for removing a cast from a patient comprises a body ( 12 ) and a cutting assembly ( 18 ) secured thereto, wherein the cutting assembly ( 18 ) includes first and second relatively moveable cutting members ( 40, 44 ). Each cutting member ( 40, 44 ) defines a cutting edge ( 46, 48 ) which when in use cooperate to cut by a shearing action. Each cutting member ( 40, 44 ) also defines an inner face ( 60 ) and are adapted to maintain the inner faces ( 60 ) in non-engaging relationship to provide clearance therebetween in order to prevent material binding between the member ( 40, 44 ) during a cutting operation.
