You never need to roll your patient or raise their leg when applying traction with The Kendrick Traction Device (KTD). Unlike other traction devices, only the KTD allows you to work around any hip or groin trauma. There is NO uncomfortable ischial bar to deal with, so any concerns of your causing unnecessary pressure and additional pain are not an issue. Popular anti-shock pants can be quickly and easily applied over the KTD. One person can properly apply the KTD in less than 2 minutes. The traction pole instantly adjusts for adult, child or pediatric use. The KTD comes complete with a convenient 9 1/2 wide by 3 1/2 tall storage pouch & easy-to-follow instructions. Weighs less than 20 ounces. Now you can easily carry a traction device in your trauma box, jump bag or first aid kit!
