4. Operation
4.1 General information
The traction boot is used for xating the foot and the during and
after an operation, examination, or treatment in accident surgery
and the orthopaedic area. Here the traction boot is used in the
area of fracture treatment (pelvis, hips, thighs), endoprosthetics
(hips), and arthroscopy (hips).
The traction boot is only used in the non-sterile area. The shell of
the traction boot should not come into contact with the patient‘s
skin so that pressure marks are avoided. The padding is applied at
the foot and parts of the calf. The entire shoe does not come into
contact with injured tissue or with open wounds.
The traction boot consists of a robust shell with the respective
accessories. Additional padding may be necessary in the case of
small feet in order to ensure secure fixation in the shell.
From experience, the traction boot is suitable for shoe sizes
from 32 - 37 (size S) and from 37 - 45. Consider the entire
anatomy of the foot when selecting the shoe!
Always make sure that there is sufficient padding. For small feet,
additional padding or folding of the padding may be necessary
to ensure a secure fit in the shell.
Safety information for operation

every use. If certain parts display wear, they must
be re-ordered. Returning a shoe may also prove
necessary. Always carry out visual inspections!
Attention!

tructions for use.
Attention!
The entire patient weight should not exceed a
maximum of 250 kg. Use the specication of the
respective extension device / operating table to de-
termine this. If the specication are under 250 kg,
then this weight must not be exceeded.

4.2.3 Release of mounting brackets
• If the xation is not sucient, it is possible to readjust it using the large quick-release lever (Illustration 18: 1 and Illustration 19).
• To open the quick release fastener again and to remove the
mounting brackets, use the small levers (Figure 18: 2). For this,
press the lever down (Illustration 20).
Make sure you release the two levers for each mounting bracket
(left and right) simultaneously, so that the mounting bracket
does not catch.

4.3 Fastening and positioning the
traction boot at extension device
After the patient‘s foot has been xated in the traction boot,
the shoe has to be fastened at the extension device. The shoe is
pushed sideways using a guide tool onto the corresponding rail
of the extension device (1) and xated properly.
In the case of xation via the clamping screw (2), this has to be
done from the side and it must be tightened manually. Make
sure that the clamping screw is xed securely.

4.4 Removing traction boot
•Hold the patient‘s foot in order to support the opening of
the clamping screw.
• Open the clamping screw (3) or the release.
•Push the traction boot sideways (1) from the rail of the ex-
tension device.
If possible, remove the patient in a team, not alone.
Proceed in exactly the same way in the case of an attachable
guide block (4). To remove the guide block, press the red button
(5) and the long button (6) with one hand, as you would when
attaching it, so that you can remove the guide block (4) with the
other.
If the traction boot is to be removed interoperatively, the
two red buttons must also be pressed simultaneously. When
releasing the shoe, make sure that the shoe and the leg are su-
ciently secured to prevent the leg from falling down and possibly
injuring the patient. The safety mechanism of the 2 buttons
avoids accidental removal of the shoe.

Illustration 24 Details of the attachable guide block
In the case of an attachable guide block (4) the locking is achieved
as described for the quick-release fastener (3).
For this purpose, the attachable guide block is xed to the corre-
sponding rail.
Then the guide block can be placed on the cross bar of the
shoe. To do this, press the red button (5) with your thumb while
at the same time your ngers surround the crossbar and keep
the long push button (6) pressed. Then the traction boot can be
connected to the attachable guide block (see gure 24) and thus
xed to the rail.
In case of a locking bolt (3) fastening is automatic. However,
make sure that the locking bolt is xed securely.
To move the traction boot only touch the shoe at the end of the
foot. The extension device provides you with setting options.

5.2 Cleaning
For cleaning we recommend clinical cleaners. Plastic parts and
operating elements must only be treated with suitable cleaning
agents. When cleaning, make sure that no liquids get into the
device. For cleaning, a weakly alkaline cleaner, for example mild
detergent, soapy water or clinical cleaners can be used.
•Depending on the degree of surface soiling, use an all-pur-
pose cleaner with clear water according to the cleaning
agent manufacturer‘s specication. Comply with the manu-
facturer‘s specication for correct dosing.
• Wet the traction boot with the all-purpose cleaner.
• Using a soft cloth, thoroughly wipe down the traction boot.
•Make sure that the traction boot is free of soiling and en-
capsulated dirt particles.
• Wet the traction boot slightly using clear water.
• Using a soft cloth, thoroughly wipe down the traction boot.
•Make sure that the traction boots is free of cleaning agent
residues.
•Dry the traction boot with a dry, absorbent, and lint-free
cloth.
This reduces the growth of germs on the product surface.
Perform this procedure after every use. After this, use the wipe
disinfectant.
Disinfectants containing alcohol can cause inammable gas
mixtures. Therefore, you should also use an aldehydic surface
disinfectant. It should be listed in the VAH list.
5.2.1 Mounting brackets
It is not necessary to clean the mounting brackets after use.
The mounting brackets are meant for single use and should be
disposed of afterwards. (For this, see also 4.2.5).
g
Danger!
Multiple use of the mounting brackets can lead
to instability. A suciently secure t cannot be
guaranteed in the case of multiple use.
5.3 Disinfection
5.3.1 General information
g
Danger!

form ammable mixtures that could lead to explo-
sions in the case of high-frequency applications.
Do not use agents containing alcohol in the case of
high-frequency applications.
v
Caution!
Damage due to long exposure times! If the pre-
scribed exposure time of the disinfection agent is
exceeded, the surfaces may be damaged. Observe
the exposure time prescribed by the disinfection
agent manufacturer.
a
