A traction splint set typically includes the following components:
- A splint: The splint is a long, rigid device that is used to support the injured limb.
- Traction straps: Traction straps are used to apply traction to the injured limb. Traction is a pulling force that is applied to the limb to lengthen it and reduce the shortening that can occur with a fracture.
- A weight bag: The weight bag is attached to the traction straps and provides the weight that is needed to apply traction.
- Other components: Traction splint sets may also include other components, such as padding, bandages, and tape.
