Sterotrac Skin Traction Kit

Description

Skin Traction Kit

A skin traction kit is a bandage kit containing everything needed to realign and restore bones and joints to their natural position so that the body can heal properly.

This skin traction kit can reduce pain, swelling, and erratic movement resulting from a fracture or dislocation. Injured body areas are protected throughout the healing process, while inflammation is contained and reduced when using a skin traction kit.

Sterotrac stands up to long-term wear, so a patient can use a kit for several weeks if surgery isn’t going to be performed or the patient has to wait until a certain time. Apply traction safely without the risk associated with skeletal traction. The kit can be used for non-operative fractures or post-operative limbs.

Adhesive Skin Traction Kit

The extension strapping in the Sterotrac kit is coated with a hypoallergenic adhesive, making it ideal for use on patients who react to zinc oxide or rubber-based adhesives.

The lightweight retaining bandage is specially designed for the kit. It comes with a soft foam strip which protects the foot and a spreader plate with a weight-carrying cord for use either with fixed or balanced traction.

Non-adhesive Traction Kit

A specially developed ventilated traction bandage is used in the Sterotrac kit, which, in conjunction with the high-quality retaining bandage, eliminates the need for adhesive extension strapping.

It comes with a soft foam strip to protect the foot, plus a spreader plate with a weight carrying cord for use either with fixed or balanced traction.
