The CT-6 is a leg traction splint designed for pre-hospital care and casualty transport in combat situations. It is primarily used on casualties with mid-line femur fractures. The CT-6 helps relieve casualty pain and prevents further damage to surrounding muscle and tissue whilst reducing the risk of death caused from severed arteries.

Nato Stock Number (NSN): 6515 01 521 5730

The CT-6 is made of carbon tubing which snaps together via an internal bungee. Traction is achieved with a 4 to1 mechanical adjuster using a small line to apply tension. This method results in a very precise and delicate form or traction that is also powerful enough to be effective on extra large adults. The CT-6 is extremely compact, light and strong.
