[Viewed 257 times]

Steps of BTSD Application: (1) Depending on version of device you have, recognize the need of device (unilateral/bilateral closed mid-shaft femur fracture) (2) Carefully apply ankle brace(s) to injured leg(s). (3) Measure the desired length needed of the device. (4) If using the unilateral device option, the provider will then slide the ratchet housing assembly to the correct groove notch lock position of leg affected (4) The provider will then carefully guide the device into its correct position; this technique is similar to that of the original device, stopping at the hips. (5) Once in position, the provider will secure the two shoulder straps to the patient. (6) Now that the patient is strapped in, the devices ratchet strap can now be attached to the ankle brace(s) that were applied earlier; it attaches to a loop found on the ankle brace bottom by use of a hook. (7) The provider will now use the hand held wrench/lever device, attach it to the appropriate side adapter end of the ratchet assembly housing and begin applying traction; continuous turns of traction will be conducted until the injured leg is pulled enough to realign fracture, if both legs are affected you will pull traction simultaneously on both legs until desired outcome is reached. (8) After desired traction is achieved, the injured leg(s) is now further secured to the device with Velcro straps using the opposite leg as a secondary means of splinting; these Velcro straps are found attached to the device. (9) The abdominal strap is now fastened once all the leg straps are completed; this is another means of securing the patient to the device, helping minimize any potential harmful movements during the duration of patient care. (10) If needed, you can set the tripod arm into the elevated position, placing the patient in the shock position.
