Stabilisation for Open Book Pelvic Fractures
SAM Pelvic sling in Medium is a circumferential pelvic belt, designed to stabilise open-book pelvic fractures in the case of a traumatic pelvic injury.
It has been scientifically proven in peer reviewed studies to effectively reduce and stabilise open-book pelvic ring fractures.
What determines an open book pelvic fracture?
Open-book pelvic ring fractures are serious pelvic injuries, which result in both sides of the pelvis becoming separated from the front and the rear, hence the term ‘open book’. Open book pelvic ring fractures are caused by a high impact trauma, usually a vehicle accident. In the case of an open-book pelvic ring fracture, immediate stabilisation of the pelvis is required before the patient is moved.
Open-book pelvic fractures are anteroposterior compression injuries, and therefore often cause major arterial damage and blood loss. The stabilisation of the pelvis aids in reducing blood loss from the pelvic blood vessels, as well as helping to secure the pelvic bones during patient transport.
