Fernotrac Traction Splints

Designed for use with suspected long bone fractures such as that of the hip and femur, the Fernotrac Traction Splint uses mechanical traction to relieve pain and reduce the possibility of further vascular and nerve damage.

The low profile ischial pad allows the splint to be easily positioned beneath the patient.

Wide, adjustable elasticated support straps hold the patient's leg within the frame of the splint. Simple to follow directions are sewn into each strap.

The ankle hitch wraps around the patient's foot and is completely adjustable.

Traction may be quickly applied by simply turning a knurled knob and is maintained during transportation by means of a positive ratchet mechanism.

Support is provided to the injured leg by the heel stand, which folds out when required.

Adjustments to the Fernotrac's length are easily made by loosening the knurled sleeves on either side of the frame.

Manufactured in durable and lightweight aluminium. Only available in adult size and is supplied in its own full length nylon carrying bag.
