Slishman Traction Splint
A closed femur fracture sets the big thigh muscles into spasm and pulls the bone ends out of line, and a traction splint applies a steady pull along the leg to bring it back to length. That traction reduces the spasm and stops the bone ends moving during transport.
Traction for a femur fracture
Traction splints are core pre-hospital gear for remote, ambulance and military settings where a fractured femur has to travel. FAD stocks the Slishman Traction Splint Gen 2, compact enough for a backpack, and the Kendrick Traction Device, so a service can match the splint to how far the patient has to be carried.
Other pre-hospital trauma immobilisation runs through the pelvic binder and splints collections. Where femur fracture management sits in wider injury care is covered in our injury and wound care guide. The Kendrick Traction Device moves in and out of stock, so check current supply with the FAD team before relying on it for a kit.
Always read the instructions for use.
