Pull Terminals

Traction clamps are special devices used in medicine to treat limb fractures using skeletal traction. These devices are metal half-rings of various sizes, at the ends of which there are sharp spikes directed inside the half-ring.

The main purpose of using traction clamps is to grip long bones such as the femur, humerus, forearm and tibia and to create the necessary tensile stress on the fractured area of ​​the bone.

Pull terminals can be made from a variety of materials such as stainless steel or titanium. They come in different shapes and sizes, depending on which bone needs to be grasped. All terminals have a common design, consisting of a half-ring with sharp spikes at the ends and fasteners for attaching to the poles of the traction apparatus.

The use of traction clamps can achieve certain advantages in the treatment of limb fractures. First, they provide a secure grip on the bones, which allows for the creation of tensile stress on the fractured area. Second, they allow precise control of the direction of force, which in turn allows for more efficient fracture alignment. Thirdly, the use of traction clamps reduces the risk of damage to surrounding tissues and blood vessels, which reduces the risk of complications.

One of the disadvantages of using traction clamps is the potential for damage to the skin and soft tissue around the attachment site. However, the correct size and shape of terminals, as well as their correct installation, can significantly reduce the risk of such complications.

In conclusion, traction clamps are an important device in the treatment of extremity fractures with skeletal traction. They provide secure grip on bones, precise direction of force and reduce the risk of complications. When used correctly, traction clamps can significantly speed up the healing process of a fracture and return the patient to an active life.

Traction clamps are special devices that are used to treat limb fractures using traction. They are metal half-rings with sharp spikes at the ends, which are attached to a traction apparatus and are used to capture and fix tubular bones.

Extraction terminals can be of various sizes and shapes, which allows you to choose the most suitable option for each specific case. They can be made from different materials, such as steel or aluminum, and have different stud angles to better grip the bone.

The use of traction clamps allows you to fix the bone in the desired position and ensure proper healing of the fracture. In addition, they help reduce pain and speed up the healing process.

However, despite their effectiveness, using pull terminals may come with some risks. For example, sharp thorns can damage skin or soft tissue, which can lead to wound infection. In addition, improper use of clamps may result in bone or vascular damage, which may worsen the patient's condition.

Therefore, when using traction terminals, you must follow all precautions and doctor’s recommendations. It is also important to choose the correct size and shape of the terminals in accordance with the individual characteristics of the patient and the type of fracture.

In general, traction clamps are an effective treatment for fractures, but their use must be strictly controlled and supervised by a qualified professional.
