The Colles’ Fracture Reduction Trainer is an ideal training tool for learners looking to gain confidence in the reduction of Colles’ fractures occurring at the distal end of the radius.
The portrayal of an elderly female arm coupled with a fractured distal fragment of the radius provides trainees with a platform for repeatable and consistent practice of manual Colles’ reduction (closed) and plastering techniques. As is typical in a real-life emergency setting, the model allows trainees to perform visual inspections and identification before facilitating a team focused Colles’ fracture reduction.
An adjustable tension mechanism allows trainers to alter the difficulty of the procedure for advanced learning.
Overview
Adjustable tension allows for progressive levels of difficulty
Trainees can perform all three stages of reduction: Exaggeration (to dis-impact the fracture), Traction and Flexion
Accommodates various plastering techniques, including back slab, circular cast, sugar-tong splint, and 3-point moulds
Stand allows the Colles’ Fracture arm to be placed at a variety of heights for different patient scenarios
Realism
Fractured distal fragment of radius, and head & body of the ulna bone for visual and palpable identification
Realistic representation of a distal angulation (dinner-fork) deformity
Life-like haptic feedback when conducting the procedure
Versatility
Adjustable tension makes this trainer a perfect tool for OSCE courses
The stand allows the Colles’ Fracture arm to be placed at a variety of heights for different patient scenarios
