Abstract: A medical traction system provides an elongate track having a slide with a handle so that tensioning of the strap can be performed directly on the slide with improved tension sensitivity. The slide provides a cam mechanism with low back-travel automatically locking the slide when tension is released permitting one-handed operation.
Abstract: A surgical support system provides a set of paddles receivable by a pegboard to provide larger area skin-supporting surfaces as stabilized by a pair of pegs received in the pegboard. The paddles may be primarily constructed of an autoclavable radiolucent polymer with short aluminum pegs in their lower ends for being received in the pegboard.
