ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to an orthopedic traction device comprising a plurality of pressure plates for disposition intermittently disposed in spaced array about a selected anatomical portion for effecting traction. The pressure plates are spanned by at least one pressure strap such that intervening areas of the anatomical portion are not placed under pressure to retain circulation downstream thereof. A pivotably adjustable traction securement means is attached to the pressure plate on either side of the anatomical portion to permit adjustment of the angle of traction, thereby to vary the longitudinal distribution of the inwardly directed pressure on the pressure plates for adjusting the direction of the traction.
The scope of use of the circulo-segmental spanning, traction and holding apparatus of the present invention is not confined to traction only, but may also be applied for other purposes including, inter alia, tortion, rotation, counterpull, or other anatomical movements.
