A skin traction kit for adults is a medical device used to apply gentle pulling force to align and stabilize broken bones, reduce muscle spasms, or relieve pressure on joints in adults, typically in the lower limbs. It is commonly used in orthopedic treatments for fractures, dislocations, or muscle injuries.
The kit includes adhesive or foam strips that are applied to the skin, bandages to secure the strips, and weights that provide the traction force. The traction is applied externally, without penetrating the skin, making it a non-invasive method of treatment. Skin traction is often used temporarily before surgery or as part of a rehabilitation process, especially for conditions affecting the hips, legs, or lower back.
These kits are used in hospitals and orthopedic centers to ensure proper alignment and promote healing in patients with musculoskeletal injuries.
