Slishman Traction Splint
|
The STS was developed by Dr. Sam Slishman at the University of New Mexico to overcome many of the operational difficulties of older traction splint designs. The innovative STS design has the traction mechanism positioned at the patient 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. This innovative design change provides a number of outstanding benefits over conventional traction splints.
