CT-6 Femoral Traction Device 1

This is a video made by Queensland Ambulance Service on how to apply the CT-6 Femoral Traction Device. The CT-6 by Fare-Tec is becoming more widespread for pre-hospital use in Australia as it’s much more compact and lightweight than the old Donway splints, so you may see one popping up in your ED soon.
