8. TECHNICAL DATA AND COMPONENTS
DAVIS/DAVIS PAEDIATRIC
PARTS DESCRIPTION AND MATERIALS
1 Gear wheel Made of aluminium, allows locking of the traction mechanism
2 Traction mechanism support
Made of nylon, this is the structure on which the gear wheel, the pin around which the belt is wound, and the knob
with which traction is performed are installed.
3 Traction belt
Made of nylon and equipped with an eyelet to which a hook is attached; this is the element that transmits traction
to the limb.
4 Locking ring Made of plastic material, these allow the removable portion of the frame to be locked in the desired position
5 Ankle brace Made of padded PVC and nylon, this is applied to the patient's ankle allowing traction of the limb
6 Support bands
Made of nylon, these support the limb and, thanks to the closing straps with quick-release buckles, allow the device
to be attached to the limb
7 Ischial support Made of polyurethane, this is the supporting part of the end of the femur
8 Fixed frame Made of aluminium, this is the fixed part of the telescopic frame
9 Mobile
Made of aluminium, this is the telescopic part of the frame that allows the device to be extended to suit the height
of the specific patient
10 Lock pin Made of aluminium, this is a pin that locks the support in the open position
11 Support
Made of aluminium, when open it keeps the device slightly inclined and allows the limb to be moved away from the
ground so that it does not touch the heel
12 Traction knob Made of plastic, when rotated this turns the pin on which the belt is wound, generating traction
