Good question ... I have been told that the previous medical director
took the decision they were not to be replaced, though there is no
written confirmation of this. Have also been told that if I want to add
them to the equipment list, need to find the money saved elsewhere.
Having said which, would probably only use about once a month if that.
And we hardly EVER use traction splints ... rapid packaging of the time
critical patient a la PHTLS.
