Prometheus Traction Splint

Effective Fracture Management for Sports Injuries

The Prometheus Traction Splint is a revolutionary device designed to effectively manage limb fractures, particularly severe midshaft fractures of the femur and other long bones, which can occur during high-impact sports. This innovative splint was developed with valuable input from end-users, resulting in advanced features that set it apart from other traction splints on the market.

Addressing the Challenges of Femoral Fractures

The femur, being the longest and strongest bone in the human body, is surrounded by powerful muscles such as the quadriceps. When a fracture occurs, these muscles can spasm, causing the bone ends to misalign, resulting in excruciating pain, bleeding (internal or external), and potential muscle and nerve damage. The Prometheus Traction Splint is specifically designed to address these concerns and provide optimal care for athletes with suspected limb fractures.

Complete and Adjustable Splint System

The splint comes complete with an adjustable pole, ankle hitch, lower leg strap, lower thigh strap (fitted to the pole), and an upper thigh strap. The pole is robust, durable, and can be easily adjusted to accommodate various patient sizes, from paediatric to adult. The straps are extended to cater to an increasingly diverse population, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit for all patients.

Reducing Pain and Minimising Further Damage

Proper application of the Prometheus Traction Splint can significantly decrease pain and minimise further damage caused by the fracture. With its lightweight and compact design, this splint is easy to store and transport, making it an ideal choice for sports medics and first responders. The splint can be applied by a single operator in less than 2 minutes, without the need to roll the patient or use an uncomfortable ischial bar.

Reliable Partner in Sports Fracture Management

The Prometheus Traction Splint offers unparalleled stability, comfort, and rapid deployment when every second counts, making it a reliable partner in managing fractures on the sports field. Trust the Prometheus Traction Splint to provide the necessary support and immobilisation for your athletes during those critical moments following an injury.
