• Improved Carbon Fiber
This
material is 10 times stronger and lighter than the aluminum pole
currently used. The Carbon Fiber Traction Pole Does not conduct heat
away from the patient, nor does it transfer cold to the patient as an
aluminum pole will.
• Improved X-Ray Translucency
The traction pole is made from x-ray translucent carbon fiber.*
• Improved Ankle Hitch
The
ankle hitch is designed to bring added comfort to the patient by
preventing unnecessary movement of the leg through the use of a
detachable stirrup. Each pull tab offers a plastic pull ring for ease of
use with gloved hands.*
• Improved Traction Anchor
The
I.T.D. Traction Anchor Point is virtually indestructible. It is
constructed out of the latest polymers which maintain its material
integrity in extreme temperatures + or - degrees. As opposed to the
inexpensive and outdated plastic dart in the market today, our traction
anchor does not break at the top. The old dart becomes extremely brittle
at high or low temperatures and fails. During traction with the I.T.D.,
the ankle hitch is forced down into the anchor point, virtually
eliminating any chance for the hitch to ride up and off of the anchor.*
• Improved Groin and Ankle Straps
The
I.T.D. was made with a special contouring material in both the groin
and ankle strap areas to bring much needed comfort to the patient. Any
patient who has experienced the current single pole traction device will
attest to the discomfort it gives to the groin and ankle areas.*
• Improved Buckles
The I.T.D. utilizes only Nexus for its buckles.*
• Improved Carry Bag (Molle Style)
The
I.T.D. provides a compact case with MOLLE style attachment capability
for easy storage and rapid deployment. The I.T.D. is very easy to
repackage and store. Replacement parts are conveniently listed on bag.*
• Improved Application
Both the ankle hitch and padded groin strap are patented application additions to the I.T.D.*
• Improved Patient Comfort
The ankle hitch, carbon fiber traction pole, straps and groin pad each come together to improve patient comfort in all areas.
