Simulaids 031 Traction Splint Trainer

The Simulaids 031 Traction Splint Trainer measures the amount of traction force applied by a practitioner during the treatment of a femur fracture. In the trainer's normal position, a deformity appears in the lateral aspect of the mid-femur area, however when traction is applied to the device, the deformity reduces and the leg extends.
