Articulating Tractical Traction Splint Use on Pulseless Forearm Fracture

Schwartz DS 14(1). 6 - 8 (Journal Article)

An articulating tactical traction splint (REEL™ Tactical Traction Splint), commonly issued to U.S. military per-sonnel, was used to maintain traction in a pulseless fore-arm fracture during a confined space rescue, with good peripheral perfusion maintained through transport. This enabled a single rescuer to focus attention and provide care for other critical aspects of a multisystem trauma patient.
