Jackson Flat Top Traction Device

A table-top traction device designed for fracture fixation in the acetabulum, pelvis, and femur

The light-weight portable device attaches directly to a standard radiolucent flat top table. Features adjustable height and a freely swiveling top. Recommended for use with the disposable sterile kit, which is sold separately. (product #0008)

Generic Set-up and Operation:

It is mounted to the base of the OR table.

By twisting the dial, it can be raised, lowered or rotated as needed.

When used for pelvic and acetabular fracture surgery, the device is set up prior to prepping and draping the patient. Traction can be adjusted as needed during the case by the circulating nurse.

When used for hip and femur fracture surgery, it is draped into the field. It is covered by an impervious stockinette followed by a surgical towel to prevent the sterile rope from abrading the drape. The sterile rope is then easily placed into the device by the surgeon and weights are hung off the field where they are easily accessible to the circulating nurse.
