Description

The Faretec CT-6 Military Leg Traction Splint is designed for pre-hospital care and patient transport, specifically in combat scenarios.  It is primarily used on patients with mid-line femur fractures.  The CT-6 helps relieve patient pain and prevents further damage to surrounding muscle and tissue while reducing the risk of death caused from severed arteries.

The CT-6 is made of carbon tubing which snaps together via an internal bungee. A Cobra buckle secures the Ischial strap to the upper leg and groin.  These buckles prevent accidental releases and are commonly used by U.S. military forces.  Traction is achieved with a four to one purchase system using a small line to apply tension. This method results in a very precise and delicate form or traction that is also powerful enough to be effective on extra-large adults.  

The CT-6 is extremely compact, light and strong.
