Abstract
In order to distribute the countertraction forces exerted on the perineal region by a cushion mounted on a lower limb emergency traction splint, the cushion is formed to an elongated saddle shape with enlarged lobes on opposite ends. The cushion is made laterally bendable so that when applied to the patient, the cushion impinges against the ischial tuberosity, the ischial and pubic rami and the midline symphysis pubic. Patient comfort and splint security are thereby enhanced.
