Splint - Sager Traction
Sagers Dynamic Traction flows with the patients injury to allow for relaxation or contraction which invariably occurs. The quantifiable feature allows easy visual reference to control the recommended 15 pounds (6.8kg) traction at all.
Static traction splints cannot compensate for relaxing muscle masses during emergency traction splinting unless the attendant notices patient discomfort, or loss of traction and makes adjustments. In addition, any compensation with static traction is an unknown variance and may result in further damage, loss of blood, or patient discomfort.
