The Bohler Traction Bow 6″ x 8½” Large Steinman Knee & Femoral Fracture Instrument is a specialized orthopedic device designed to support skeletal traction procedures involving compatible Steinmann pins. Its large 6-inch x 8½-inch configuration provides a practical framework for applying and maintaining controlled traction during orthopedic fracture management.
Bohler traction bows are used as part of traction systems where a Steinmann pin or similar skeletal traction pin is positioned through bone and connected to the traction bow. The bow provides attachment points for the traction mechanism, allowing controlled force to be applied according to the surgeon’s selected technique and treatment plan.
This large-size traction bow is particularly suited to applications involving the femur, knee region, and other areas where a larger traction configuration is appropriate. It can be incorporated into orthopedic trauma sets and skeletal traction equipment used for fracture management and temporary stabilization.
The bow’s design supports balanced connection of traction components while allowing the surgical team to establish the required traction setup. When used with compatible pins, traction hardware, and supporting equipment, it can form part of a controlled skeletal traction system.
The 6″ x 8½” dimensions provide a defined large-frame configuration for orthopedic applications. Exact traction force, pin selection, placement, and positioning should be determined by a qualified orthopedic professional according to the patient’s condition, anatomy, and established clinical technique.
This Bohler traction bow is suitable for professional orthopedic and trauma environments. It may be used in conjunction with compatible Steinmann pins and traction accessories during procedures involving femoral and knee fracture management.
For reusable applications, the bow should be thoroughly cleaned after use, carefully inspected for structural integrity, dried, and sterilized using a validated process appropriate for the instrument and healthcare facility. Any component showing deformation, cracks, corrosion, or other damage should be evaluated before further use.
The Bohler Traction Bow Large provides orthopedic teams with a practical component for skeletal traction systems where controlled traction and secure connection to compatible Steinmann pin assemblies are required.
