Crutchfield Tongs

Description

Crutchfield Tongs are specialized orthopedic traction instruments designed for skeletal cervical traction in patients with cervical spine fractures, subluxations, or dislocations. These tongs attach securely to the skull using precisely engineered pins, allowing medical teams to apply controlled, continuous traction for spinal alignment.
