Femoral splint primarily seeks to acheve 2 main objectives :

1. To reduce pain
2. To limit further damage to the leg

Realising the distinct gap that existed between the available technologies to deliver on these, Dr Slishman endeavoured and delivered a superior traction device that meets all the required qualities of an ideal traction device. These attributes include :

• LIghtweight and portability
• Simplicity of use
• Durability and robustness of design and construct
• Universal size to fit children and adults alike
• Radiotranslucency
• Proximal traction allowing casualty to adjust tension parameter

The Slishman Splint uniquely achieves the fastest and most efficient application of a traction splint and thereby delivers the best possible chance of a successful clinical intervention.
