Optimum Traction Device 082-2438

Because the OTD may be fitted without rolling a patient or raising their leg, it can be applied by just one person. The OTD also provides the ability to work around any hip or groin trauma. The traction device consists of a folding snap-out aluminum pole which easily adjusts for adult or pediatric use, color coded elastic leg straps, adjustable ankle hitch, and adjustable groin strap.

The Ferno OTD is engineered to provide efficient and comfortable traction for patients with suspected femoral fractures. Its design eliminates the need for an ischial bar, reducing the risk of additional pressure and discomfort. The device's compactness and low weight make it especially suited for first aid, wilderness rescue, ski patrols, tactical response medics, and military field operations.​

Key Features:

• Rapid Application: Can be applied by a single responder in under a minute without lifting or rolling the patient.

• Adjustable Design: Folding snap-out aluminum pole easily adjusts for adult or pediatric use.
