Frequently Asked Questions:

When is the Slishman Traction Splint used (10-5000)?

For stabilization and traction of fractured femurs; it can also be used as a simple splint for any extremity fracture, strain or sprain.2

How do you apply a Slishman Traction Splint (10-5000)?

For patients over 5 ft, extend the middle tube; strap the neoprene outer tube strap at the ankle (or proximal to the calf with lower leg injury); fasten the red groin strap; pull the cord until pain is relieved; lock it in the V-notch; wrap the loose end on the cleat wings; then pad, stabilize and monitor circulation, sensation and motor function.2

When should you not use traction with this splint (10-5000)?

Avoid traction for grossly open and contaminated fractures, where traction may pull contaminants into the body. Traction may be considered for hip, pelvis or humerus fractures only if a test pull gives immediate pain relief or restored perfusion.2

What is the difference between the STS Gen 2 and the STS-C (10-5000)?

STS Gen 2 is 22 in and 18 oz packaged and does not extend beyond the foot; STS-C is 14 in and 15.5 oz for remote use and is placed at the proximal calf only.1

What is the difference between a SAM splint and a traction splint (10-5000)?

A SAM Splint is moldable for fractures, sprains and soft tissue injuries; a traction splint applies inline traction for mid-shaft femur fractures.4

What does the Slishman Pressure Wrap do (10-5000)?

It buddy-wraps the feet for rotational stability, can apply bleeding control pressure, and can secure other splints.12

How do you clean the Slishman Traction Splint (10-5000)?

Inspect it, wash with water and disinfectant and wipe down; do not use bleach, do not loosen straps, and wipe the neoprene strap rather than using hot water.2
