Sager® Emergency Traction Splints and the Minto Fracture Kit
Important:
Follow these additional
steps to ensure correct assembly and
usage of Sager Extreme Compact
Bilateral Traction Splints. Note: the
Security Sliding Lock should be applied
after traction is applied to the patient
and the yellow indicator is visible. On
short, light-weight people, the yellow
indicator might not be visible if the
Traction Bar does not extend out of
the Outer Tube. If the Lock is applied
before inserting the Traction Bar into
the Outer Tube, the range of travel
will be limited.
Important: Traction Assembly Packing
and Folding Procedure!
To refold the
inner-traction splint shaft (traction tube)
and place in Carrying Case, grasp the
traction tube with thumb against Hinge
Tab. Push Hinge Tab, as you would to
turn on a flashlight, while gently pulling
the solid bar. When solid bar stops then
fold keeping the bar and tube in
alignment.

responsible for incorrect assembly
