Skin traction is a method of applying a pulling force to a fractured bone or dislocated joint using a bandage or foam liner attached to the skin. A Skin Traction Kit provides all the necessary components to apply this traction effectively and comfortably. It is commonly used for hip fractures and muscle spasms.
The kit typically includes a foam liner, a traction cord, and a spreader block. The foam liner grips the skin over a large area to distribute the traction force evenly, minimizing skin irritation. The pulling force helps to align the bone fragments, reduce muscle spasms, and alleviate pain before surgery.
BonkeyCare’s Skin Traction Kit is designed for high performance and patient comfort. The foam liner is hypoallergenic and breathable, reducing the risk of skin maceration. The high-quality crepe bandage ensures secure retention of the liner. The spreader block is designed to prevent the traction cord from rubbing against the foot.
For effective, non-invasive traction therapy, the BonkeyCare Skin Traction Kit is a trusted choice in orthopedic care.
