Description
Adult Reel Splint 8801 Traction & Extrication Tactical System Hybrid MILITARY LEG SPLINT BB40
This version of the Reel Splint Immobilizer™ has a unique twist. Two snap ring twist “Quick Disconnect” sleeves are positioned at the bottom or distal end of the splint. These sleeves allow the Reel’s exclusive traction ratchet to be inserted into the distal portion of the splint. With the immobilizer component in the straight and neutral position, the ratchet can then be connected; thus creating the world’s most highly effective long bone traction splint. In this traction configuration there are two vitally important developments incorporated into the splint’s design:
ANATOMICAL PIVOTING ISCHIAL PAD: This assures proper alignment at and with the patient’s “ischial pathway angle.” Pivoting left or right, the ischial pad can be situated with proper and complete consideration of delicate proximal injury sites. The majority of femur fractures occur in this upper third portion of the thigh making this a major concern.
POSITIVE MIDLINE POF: Allows the knee to be slightly flexed and supported at an angle that emulates the patient’s natural anatomical position of function (or POF). This is highly beneficial in achieving proper natural limb alignment during traction while positively effecting nuero vascular integrity.
Features:
Extrication handles-ideal for patient and extremity management
Wound visualization & treatment- strap design allows complete & total access
Limb repositioning-adapts readily for patient comfort or neuron-vascular restoration
Folding design for storage, autoclavable as well
Elevation stand is pin free-makes stand deployment, storage retractions & replacement simple
Single Hand Ratcheting Control-one medic can control both mechanical traction application & patient manual traction at the same time
Safety Traction Lock-when engaged, this lock feature disables the traction ratcheting knob, preventing any accidental loss of traction
Reel’s one-size-fits-all Ankle Hitch saves time, money & training while providing a significantly improved neutral foot position result. The smaller profile “wrap around” design leaves pulse points accessible
