Overview
AI-generated summary, 1 Oct 2026
The Levtech Composite Traction Tongs are a Tong, Skull for Traction (per FDA nomenclature), designed to immobilize a patient’s skull during cervical spine injury management. These tongs apply controlled traction by anchoring to the skull and applying a counterweight, aiding in the stabilization of fractures or dislocations. Constructed with composite materials, they are intended for precise, secure attachment to the cranial bone while minimizing tissue damage.
Used primarily in neurosurgical and emergency settings, these tongs are supplied sterile for single-use applications to prevent cross-contamination. They are classified as Class II devices under FDA regulations (21 CFR 882.5960) and require proper storage in a clean, dry environment to maintain sterility. Available in multiple sizes (as referenced in registration numbers 3004464325, 3002750084, etc.), they are intended for use under direct medical supervision in controlled clinical environments. FDA clearance (K873693) confirms their compliance with regulatory standards for traction devices in neurology
