Traction Hook For Extension Bow

Description

Traction Hook For Extension Bow

The extension bow traction hook connects a traction bow to the rope and weight system. It completes the link between pin and weight in skeletal traction.

Its place in traction

A pin passes through bone and attaches to a bow. Then the hook joins the bow to the traction cord. As a result, the weight pulls through the pin on the bone.

Who uses an extension bow traction hook

Trauma and orthopedic teams use it in femoral and tibial traction. Also, ward staff handle it during traction checks. In addition, it suits hospitals using skeletal traction.

Compatibility

Hooks must suit the bow you use. Therefore tell us your bow type before ordering. Also, we will confirm fit.

Daily checks

Look at the hook and cord every day. Consequently, wear or loosening is caught early. Replace parts as needed.

Spares

Small traction parts go missing between patients. So a spare hook avoids delays. Moreover, many wards keep a few.

Choosing the hook

Hooks differ in size and opening. Consequently, match the hook to your bow and cord. Besides, we can advise if you are unsure.
