Gerster Traction Bar

Description

Gerster Traction Bar

The Gerster traction bar is a small, 10 cm bar used in traction and reduction setups. It provides a point to apply or transfer pull.

A small traction part

Traction systems use bars, hooks and clamps to apply steady force. Therefore small parts like this complete the setup. In addition, each must fit securely.

Size

The bar measures 10 cm. Fittings are not detailed in the listing. Send us your frame type, and we will check that it fits.

Who uses the Gerster traction bar

Orthopedic and trauma teams use traction parts during reduction and ward care. Also, hand and wrist traction may use small bars. Sets vary by hospital.

Before ordering

Tell us the traction system you use. Then we can check fit. That avoids problems at the bedside.

Inspection

Check traction parts before each use. Consequently, worn parts are replaced early. Additionally, that keeps patients safe.

A part of a wider system

Small traction parts rarely work alone. Consequently, their value depends on fit with the rest of the setup. Also, we are happy to check that fit.

Buying details

In the rare case the traction bar shows an assembly issue, you have three years against manufacturing defects. An Atlanta colleague inspects each traction bar under good light before shipment.
