Slishman Traction Splint Gen 2 (STS Gen 2) — One-Piece Femur Traction Splint for Prehospital Care
The Slishman Traction Splint Gen 2 (STS Gen 2) is a compact, one-piece traction splint designed for the rapid management of suspected femoral shaft fractures in prehospital and emergency response settings. The connected extension mechanism eliminates assembly steps — the STS Gen 2 can be applied in under 60 seconds, making it one of the fastest traction splints available for field use.
At 482 grams and 20" in its carry bag, the Gen 2 is lighter and more compact than most traction splint alternatives, fitting cleanly into ambulance kits, rescue vehicle bags, and tactical trauma kits where space matters.
What's Different About the Gen 2
The STS Gen 2 is designed to remain within the length of the patient's leg when applied — reducing protrusion beyond the foot compared to conventional traction splints. This makes patient packaging significantly safer and more manageable on stretchers, backboards, litters, and basket systems during transport.
The integrated Slishman Pressure Wrap provides additional proximal stability during traction. Multi-colour components and printed trifold instructions support fast, accurate application even under pressure. Radiolucent construction means the splint can remain in place during X-ray imaging without obstructing assessment.
