ABSTRACT:
A bag-like container of flexible plastic material snugly confines the ischial padding and body of an emergency traction splint for an injured leg while allowing access to the traction-inducing components thereof. Additional biohazard shielding is afforded by an integral cover of flexible, impervious material sufficiently rigid to provide a protective enclosure for patient transport. The container and the cover as well as the attendant malleolar harness are disposable. A barrier against cross-contamination from biohazards present in human body fluids is provided.
