ABSTRACT:
Fractures of the extremities require appropriate splinting and it is recognized that splinting should be applied at the scene of the injury before the patient is moved. Ergo the emergency traction splint hereof as a part of first aid equipment which may be readily assembled into operating position at the site of an accident for first echelon service while the injured person is removed from the scene and brought with injured limb in traction to a hospital for treatment at a higher echelon, which splint may be readily disposed of, once it has served its emergency purpose. The splint serves to hold longitudinal traction on a broken femur or a hip dislocation. That is, it has a capacity for obtaining and holding a pulling action on the injured leg.
