FareTec CT-EMS Leg Traction Splint – Civilian / EMS (Orange)
Compact. Lightweight. Built for EMS.
The FareTec CT-EMS is a carbon-fiber leg traction splint designed for prehospital care and patient transport of mid-shaft femur fractures. It is the civilian version of the CT-6, with high-visibility orange straps so the device is easy to see on scene and in the back of an ambulance.
The carbon-fiber sections snap together on an internal bungee, and the frame adjusts to the length of the patient's leg. Traction is applied with a 4:1 mechanical purchase system. This gives the provider fine, controlled adjustment with enough power for large patients. A V-Jam cleat holds tension and allows quick readjustment, and a safety clip guards against accidental release.
The CT-EMS comes out of the bag ready to apply, with every component already attached. It packs small enough for a trauma box, jump bag or first aid kit, which makes it a practical choice for ambulance crews, fire and rescue, ski patrol and wilderness rescue teams. Made in the USA.
What's included: carbon-fiber frame, 4:1 traction system, ischial strap, ankle hitch, four leg straps, blue carrying bag, and quick-reference instructions.
Important use information: Do not use for femoral neck fractures, fractures or dislocations involving the knee, or fractured ankles. Assess circulation before application and reassess throughout treatment and transport. For use by healthcare professionals and trained personnel, following the current Instructions for Use and applicable medical protocols.
