Is the sizing appropriate for pediatric patients?
Yes, this model is specifically engineered as a pediatric traction splint. It measures 45 inches when fully extended, ensuring it is correctly sized to provide stable immobilization for pediatric leg injuries.
How easy is this to store in a vehicle?

What is the main benefit of the traction system?
The system provides controlled traction, which is vital to minimize secondary trauma. By stabilizing the fracture, it protects the patient from further vascular or nerve damage often associated with pediatric leg injuries.
How secure is the patient in this splint?
