Traction Splint Trainer

The Splint Trainer can be set to correspond to an individual's body weight. This allows the instructor to determine if the student is correctly applying the rule of "10% of the body weight traction results in adequate relief for, but no further damage to, the patient." The Trainer can be adjusted for weights ranging from 100-300 lbs. After applying traction, the deformity of the thigh recedes and splints can be applied, including any standard ankle hitch. Trainer requires attachment to a base to secure it during training sessions.
