Product Description
The FernoTrac Pediatric Traction Splint is specifically engineered for young patients with suspected long bone fractures in the lower extremities. This innovative device delivers precise mechanical traction, effectively alleviating pain while minimizing the risk of additional vascular and nerve damage.Constructed from durable tubular aluminum, the splint features a clever length adjustment mechanism that allows for effortless unlocking and resizing using knurled sleeves on either side, ensuring a perfect fit for varying leg sizes. The wide elastic support straps secure the injured leg within the splint's frame, establishing in-line traction for optimal stabilization. Each strap includes easy-to-follow instructions, enhancing usability for emergency medical technicians.
Designed with the pediatric emergency scenario in mind, the low-profile ischial pad ensures the splint can be applied with limited leg movement, while the wrap-around ankle hitch allows for quick checks of pedal pulses. The folding heel stand lays flat for efficient storage but locks into position for reliable support when needed.
Presented in a convenient full-length yellow nylon carrying case, the FernoTrac Pediatric Traction Splint is always ready for immediate deployment, making it an essential addition to any medical response kit. This set includes both pediatric and adult versions, ensuring comprehensive care for all ages.
