Traction boot

A traction boot is an orthopedic device worn around the foot or feet to apply controlled pulling force during orthopedic procedures. Clinically, it helps stabilize and reposition broken bones in the leg or spine by maintaining traction while patients are on a surgical table or undergoing trauma interventions.

These devices are typically reusable and designed to fit various foot sizes, with secure lacing or straps to ensure stability. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their intended use and risk level, often requiring compliance with orthopedic device standards.
