SPLINT, SLISHMAN TRACTION - COMPACT

One Size Fits All

The STS fits both adults and peds. No need to carry two different splints. If your system requires you to carry two traction splints, two STS splints can be carried for bi-lateral splinting of both peds and adults.

Radiolucent

The STS is radiolucent. No need to remove the splint for imaging or reapplying the splint afterwards. The patient can go all the way to surgery with the splint on.

The STS is Not Contraindicated in Lower Leg Injury or Amputation

While other traction splints are contraindicated when a patient has lower leg injury, the STS’s unique design allows the ankle strap to be alternately positioned proximal to the calf. This allows femur traction to still be applied and leaves the lower leg accessible for splinting or bandaging. No reason to forego traction splinting because the patient also has lower leg trauma.

The STS Does Not Extend Beyond the Foot

The traction splint stays anatomically contained from the patient’s hip to ankle, there’s no extension beyond the foot. This eliminates the issues of not being able to close the ambulance door or not being able to fit patients into aircraft because of the traction splint. When extricating a patient, the splint stays contained within the litter, basket or board reducing the risk of the splint striking anything during movement or hoisting.
