Description
A Skin Traction Kit for Children is used to apply traction to a child’s limb following an injury or surgery. The kit typically includes smaller, softer adhesive strips or foam padding, bandages to secure the strips, and light weights appropriate for a child’s size and condition. The traction is applied externally to stabilize and properly position the limb for healing.
Key Components
Foam Padding: Provides cushioning and reduces skin irritation.
Adhesive Strips: Secure the foam padding to the skin.
Bandages: Hold the adhesive strips and padding in place.
Weights: Apply gentle traction to the limb.
Directions for Use
Clean the Area: Ensure the skin is clean and dry before application.
Apply Foam Padding: Place the foam padding on the affected area.
Attach Adhesive Strips: Secure the foam padding with adhesive strips.
Wrap with Bandages: Use bandages to hold everything in place.
Attach Weights: Follow the healthcare provider’s instructions for attaching the appropriate weights.
Side Effects
Common side effects may include skin irritation, redness, or discomfort at the application site. If you experience any severe side effects or signs of an allergic reaction, discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider immediately.
