Based in Australia, Kaltec manufactures and distributes products for hospitals and medical care facilities such as automatic tourniquets, arthroscopy electrodes, graft harvesting, precision grafting, leg brace, leg post, probes and suckers. Shoulder traction units from Kaltec are used to hold the shoulder, wrist and elbow in place during an arthroscopy. The twin boom model of these units allows both wrist and elbow to be held in place, while the extended boom provides traction above the shoulder.
Shoulder traction units from Kaltec are easy to assemble and are designed not to interfere with surgeons’ working area. The booms can be positioned in such a way that they do not disturb the surgeon’s instruments and surgical field. They can also be moved independently of each other. Surgeons can apply different traction methods with the help of the boom’s free movement.
These medical equipment can be assembled with one or both booms depending on requirement. These kits consist of traction cords, pulleys, arm gauntlet and sling. These traction units are adaptable to any kind of operating table, and they come with standard clamps to help fasten these traction units to the operating table. Standard weights are fastened to the opposite ends of the traction cords.
