The Faretec CT-EMS Leg Traction Splint is designed for pre-hospital care and patient transport. It is primarily used on patients with mid-line femur fractures. The CT-EMS helps relieve patient pain and prevents further damage to surrounding muscle and tissue while reducing the risk of death caused from severed arteries.
The CT-EMS is made of carbon tubing which snaps together via an inteal bungee. Traction is achieved with a four to one purchase system using a small line to apply tension. This method results in a very precise and delicate form or traction that is also powerful enough to be effective on extra-large adults.
The CT-EMS is extremely compact, light and strong.
