Colles' Fracture Reduction Trainer
The Colles’ Fracture Reduction Trainer is an ideal training tool for learners looking to gain confidence in the reduction of Colles’ fractures occurring at the distal end of the radius.
The portrayal of a fractured distal fragment of the radius provides trainees with a platform for repeatable and consistent practice of manual Colles’ reduction (closed) and plastering techniques. As is typical in a real-life emergency setting, the model allows trainees to perform visual inspections and identification before facilitating a team focused Colles’ fracture reduction.
An adjustable tension mechanism allows trainers to alter the difficulty of the procedure for advanced learning.
Overview
- Adjustable tension allows for progressive levels of difficulty
- Trainees can perform all three stages of reduction: Exaggeration (to dis-impact the fracture), Traction and Flexion
- Accommodates various plastering techniques, including back slab, circular cast, sugar-tong splint, and 3-point moulds
- Stand allows the Colles’ Fracture arm to be placed at a variety of heights for different patient scenarios
Realism
- Fractured distal fragment of radius, and head & body of the ulna bone for visual and palpable identification
- Realistic representation of a distal angulation (dinner-fork) deformity
- Life-like haptic feedback when conducting the procedure
Versatility
- Adjustable tension makes this trainer a perfect tool for OSCE courses
- The stand allows the Colles’ Fracture arm to be placed at a variety of heights for different patient scenarios

Can a single person perform training with the Colles’ distal radius model?
The Colles trainer should always be used with a minimum of two people, conducting traction and counter traction, even when using the stand.
What are the Hex Keys used for that are supplied with the Colles’ Fracture Reduction Trainer?
The Hex Keys are used to adjust the tension mechanism, allowing trainers to alter the difficulty of the procedure for advanced learning.
What size are the Hex Keys used with the Colles’ Fracture Trainer?
The Larger Hex Key is 5mm and the Smaller Hex Key is 2.5mm.
The Imperial equivalent is 3/16 for the larger Hex and 3/32 for the smaller one.
Does the Colles’ Fracture Reduction Trainer allow for visualisation through ultrasound?
This trainer has been designed for physical assessment and Colles’ fracture reduction procedures and doesn’t possess any ultrasound capabilities.
