• Sager Emergency Traction Splints apply countertraction against the ischial tuberosity medial to the shaft of the femur in a manner consistent with the original Thomas Full and Half Ring Splints
• Uses the same manner of traction and countertraction applied to patients in operating room theatres undergoing surgical reductions and repair
• As with surgical procedures, Sager’s application of traction avoids point pressure on the sciatic nerve and related vascular structures — in the critical proximal third of a femoral fracture
• This same feature makes the Sager indicated for treatment in 93% of all femoral fractures!
• Provides alignment, stability and pain relief • Engineered for first responder treatment • Allows traction to be applied to a single leg or both legs together CODE
• Developed to overcome many of the design limitations of conventional raction splints
• The innovative STS design has the traction mechanism positioned at the patients hip
• Femur traction is applied through the extension of the pole segments creating a pushing force on the ankle strap instead of pulling distally from the foot
• One size for both adults and paediatrics
• Anatomically contained from the patients hip to ankle and does not extend outside backboards, litters, and stretchers
• Rapid patient application with no poles or mechanisms to set up • Lightweight - only 590g • Radiolucent • NSN: 6515-32-083-5266
