Traction Splint Slishman One Size Fits Most V-notch Lock Hip

Features

• Designed to overcome the operational difficulties of older traction splints, the STS Gen2 is the fastest splint to apply, reducing on-scene times and maximizing patient comfort
• The STS Gen2 requires no individual poles or complicated mechanisms to assemble
• It can be applied in less than 60 seconds, making it the go-to solution in emergencies
• The traction mechanism is located at the patient's hip, with femur traction applied by extending the pole segments
• This creates a pushing force on the ankle or distal strap, rather than pulling distally from the foot as with conventional traction splints
• Its advanced design and versatile features make it a must-have device for any responders likely to deal with leg fractures
• Application possible even in cases of lower leg/foot amputation
• Multi-color design makes identifying parts and application steps easy
• Radiolucent
• The distal hitch on the STS-Gen2 is applied just proximal to the ankle, calf or patella
• Coarse positioning is accomplished using a spring button to extend and lock the outer tube
• Fine traction is accomplished by pulling on the cord, followed by locking with a downward pull into the V-notch
• Because you control all traction at the hip, you can easily make adjustments as conditions change or en route to the hospital
