Rescue Essentials is the manufacturer of the Slishman Traction Splint (STS), an innovative traction device that solves many of the current problems with other traction splints. The STS applies traction from the hip, doesn’t extend beyond the patient’s foot, is infinitely adjustable and truly a “one size fits all” devise. A patented pulley system makes traction application easier than other devices, and a unique ankle strap allows use despite a foot amputation. Ideal for both field and hospital use, the STS requires minimal training and weighs less than 24 ounces.
