The Traction Slings are essential orthotic components designed to stabilise, control, and limit the movement of the knee or lower limb during the critical healing phase. Specifically made for use with traction splints, such as the Thomas Splint, these slings provide a reliable and adjustable support system for patients.
The Traction Slings are essential orthotic components designed to stabilise, control, and limit the movement of the knee or lower limb during the critical healing phase. Specifically made for use with traction splints, such as the Thomas Splint, these slings provide a reliable and adjustable support system for patients. They are a primary tool in the emergency management and long-term recovery of femoral fractures, supracondylar injuries, and severe musculoskeletal trauma.
By maintaining consistent alignment and providing a secure base for the limb, these slings help to reduce muscle spasms and alleviate acute pain. In a clinical setting, they are vital for ensuring the limb remains elevated and correctly positioned, preventing further soft tissue damage and supporting the patient through pre-operative or conservative treatment pathways.
The Traction Slings are engineered with a focus on tissue viability and operational efficiency, utilising a high-performance 5mm White Velfoam construction. Unlike traditional splinting materials, this medical-grade Velfoam provides a gentle, protective cushioning system that is essential for modern pressure area care. By distributing pressure more evenly across the limb, it significantly reduces the risk of pressure ulcers—a critical clinical concern during the long-term immobilisation required for orthopaedic trauma. This substantial yet lightweight foam is designed for thermal comfort, providing essential warmth against the skin while its breathable core actively prevents moisture build-up, maintaining skin integrity even during extended use.
In addition to patient comfort, the slings are designed to support the highest standards of infection control. Each sling is a single-patient-use component, aligning seamlessly with current NHS England hygiene protocols. By utilising disposable components, the need for time-consuming and costly ring recovering is eliminated, effectively reducing the risk of cross-contamination and freeing up valuable clinical time for ward staff. Furthermore, the slings feature bespoke adjustability via secure hook-and-loop fastenings. This allows clinicians to easily modify the fit to accommodate fluctuating limb swelling (oedema), ensuring the patient receives consistent, tailored support throughout every stage of the recovery process.
To support streamlined hospital stock management, these slings are sold in packs of four and are available in three anatomical sizes (450mm, 500mm, and 600mm), ensuring a precise fit for both paediatric and adult patients.
At Beagle Orthopaedic, we take pride in manufacturing our products right here in Lancashire, UK. Choosing British-made orthopaedic supports means more than just exceptional quality – it’s a commitment to sustainability, faster delivery, and transparent sourcing.
By producing locally, we significantly reduce transportation emissions and support the UK economy. Our shorter supply chains ensure you know exactly where your materials come from, while also helping us maintain high standards of ethical sourcing and carbon reduction. This approach not only benefits the environment but also ensures faster turnaround times for healthcare providers and patients.
Our UK-based manufacturing combines traditional craftsmanship with advanced technologies like CNC cutting and digital sewing, delivering consistent quality and performance across every product.
This ensures healthcare providers can offer high-quality, sustainable orthopaedic solutions that align with their green goals.
At Beagle Orthopaedic, sustainability is more than a goal – it’s a responsibility. We are proud to lead the way in eco-conscious orthopaedic manufacturing by reducing our carbon footprint, minimising waste, and embracing energy-efficient technologies.
Through digital transformation, CNC cutting and sewing, and the use of sustainable materials, we’re actively lowering emissions and improving production efficiency. Our switch to eco-friendly packaging and local UK sourcing further reduces transport-related emissions and supports British businesses.
We’re committed to helping the NHS and healthcare providers meet their environmental targets by delivering high-quality, responsibly made orthopaedic products. Our goal: Net Zero emissions by 2050 — and we’re making real progress every day.
