Overview

The Keling KL-6 Series orthopaedics tractor is a specialist surgical attachment designed for the operative treatment of fractures and dislocations — particularly of the lower extremity — where controlled axial traction and precise limb positioning are required throughout the surgical procedure. The traction frame plugs directly into compatible Keling operating tables via a quick plug-in connection, creating an integrated orthopaedic surgical system without the need for a dedicated fracture table in every theatre.

Carbon fiber construction is the defining material choice for the KL-6C. Unlike stainless steel or aluminium traction frames, carbon fiber is fully radiolucent — it appears transparent on fluoroscopy and C-arm imaging, delivering clear, artefact-free intraoperative images of the surgical field, fracture reduction and implant placement. This characteristic is essential for procedures such as intramedullary nailing of femoral and tibial fractures, femoral neck fixation and hip arthroplasty revisions where real-time fluoroscopy guides the surgical technique.

The traction mechanism provides 0–180° horizontal rotation for limb positioning, 0–200 mm of axial traction distance for fracture reduction, and ≥400 mm of height adjustment to accommodate patients of different stature and limb length. The included accessory car allows the traction frame to be moved conveniently between theatres and stored compactly when not in use, making it practical even in facilities that use it only periodically.

Quick facts

Applications

The KL-6 Series orthopaedics tractor is used in orthopaedic operating theatres for fracture and dislocation surgery including intramedullary nailing of femoral and tibial fractures, femoral neck screw fixation, hip arthroplasty, ankle and lower extremity fracture reduction, and traction and reduction procedures under fluoroscopic guidance. It can be used in combination with various Keling operating tables to create a complete orthopaedic surgical system.

Questions buyers ask

What is the Keling KL-6 Series orthopaedics tractor used for?

The KL-6 (KL-6C) is a carbon fiber traction frame for orthopaedic surgery involving fractures and dislocations. It attaches to compatible operating tables to provide controlled axial traction, limb rotation and height positioning for intramedullary nailing, fracture fixation and reduction procedures under intraoperative fluoroscopy.

Why is carbon fiber used for the KL-6C traction frame?

Carbon fiber is fully radiolucent, meaning it does not obstruct or create artefacts in C-arm or fluoroscopic images during surgery. This provides surgeons with clear, unobstructed intraoperative imaging of fracture reduction and implant placement. Carbon fiber also offers high strength at low weight, reducing setup and handling effort.

How does the KL-6C connect to the operating table?

The KL-6C uses a convenient plug-in design that attaches quickly and securely to compatible Keling operating tables, including the KL-D·III-III model. The quick-connect system allows the traction frame to be attached before surgery and removed easily for cleaning and storage via the included accessory car.

Is the KL-6 available for international export and bulk purchase?

Yes. Keling Medical exports orthopaedic surgical accessories and operating tables to hospitals and distributors worldwide through its Shanghai sales and export center.
