Safeguard Traction Splint (KTD-TYPE)

Description

The Prometheus Traction Splint (PTS) was created with valuable input from end-users and has built in features that are an advancement on similar splints currently available on the market. The Prometheus Traction Splint from SafeGuard Medical comes complete with a pole, ankle hitch, lower leg strap, lower thigh strap (fitted to pole) and an upper thigh strap. The pole is adjustable for lengths and is robust. It is also durable and the straps can extend to cater for an ever increasingly sized population. 

These splints most typically focus on the treatment of severe mid-shaft fractures of the femur but also fractures of other limbs. The femur is the longest and strongest bone in the human body; the surrounding muscles (quadriceps) are also incredibly strong. When the femur breaks, the surrounding muscles can spasm and may result in pulling the bone ends past each other, which results in immense pain, bleeding (internal or external), and muscle and nerve damage.
