Faretec CT-EMS Traction Leg Splint - Civilian Use

The CT-EMS is a Leg Traction Splint designed for Pre Hospital Care and Patient transport. It is primarily used on patients with mid-line femur fractures. The CT-EMS 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-EMS is made of carbon tubing which snaps together via an internal bungee. Traction is achieved with a 4 to1 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-EMS is extremely compact, light and strong.

• Carbon Fibre Tubing: Corrosion resistant, temperature stabile, extremely high strength to weight ratio, x- ray translucent.
• 4:1 Purchase Traction System: makes it easy to apply ample traction for even the largest patient. The V- Jam cleat makes it easy to readjust traction, key in long transport situations. Includes safety clip to prevent accidental releases.
• Instruction Manual: Each splint comes with its own “quick reference” two sided instruction manual that is water proof and tear resistant.
• Light: Unit weighs 360 g
• Compact: Unit fits in small synch bag, 27.5 x 10 x 7.5cm.
• Strong: Carbon Fibre poles and injection moulded plastics.
• Effective: Four to one pulley system for efficient, easily adjustable traction.
• Universal: One unit fits both Adult and Paediatric patients.

The CT-EMS has been designed for civilian use. The CT-6 has been designed for tactical and military use. The main difference between these two products is the colour layout of the materials. On the military version, the Ischial strap utilizes a Cobra buckle.

Product includes everything that is needed, including synch bag, instruction manual, ankle hitch and leg straps; all of which are easily replaceable with their own part numbers.
