ABSTRACT:
A traction belt for pelvic traction. It includes an encircling element adapted to be fastened around the patient, and has a pull-strap depending from the rear thereof. The pull-strap includes a pair of flexible arms joined to the encircling element at spaced-apart points relative to the spine of the patient. The arms are continuous with one another and support a connector link which is slidable along the pull-strap to define the length of the arms when pulled by traction force exerted upwardly and away from the patient. According to a preferred feature of the invention, a friction-reducing element is disposed at the back of the belt where it will reduce the sliding friction between the patient and the bed.
