Skin ulceration may occur in the area under and around a Thomas splint causing considerable discomfort to the patient. The aim of this study was to identify factors that may affect the occurrence of ulceration in patients immobilised with a Thomas splint and specifically to investigate different frequencies of pressure care in preventing skin changes associated with ulceration. The effects of other factors including the patient’s weight, leg circumference, type of fracture, traction ring size and traction weight on the incidence of skin changes were also investigated. Results suggest that the duration between pressure care may be reduced from 2 to 6 h (possibly 4 h). Thus reducing the risks associated with movement of the fractured leg.It provides an easy to use complete system for femoral fractures that eliminates the need for high stock levels and offers significant benefits in terms of infection control and maintenance free usage.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy to use and apply whilst maintaining maximum patient comfort.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLower limb measurements in both centimetres and inches clearly indicated on the side arms of the splint.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufactured from strong, durable stainless steel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUniversal - fits left and right\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Medsor Impex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50710912336119,"sku":"MIIS-111","price":599.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/medsorimpex.com\/products\/medsor-impex-thomas-splints-for-fractures-50x15-cm","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
