Description

The Chattanooga TX Traction Unit (#4759) allows the clinician to mimic the feel of hands on therapy by the unit's fully programmable pull patterns.

Warranty: 2 Years.

The TX Traction Unit reduces physical demands on the clinician, can be used on chronic, sub-acute, and acute conditions, and is a compliment to manual therapy. The unit relaxes muscles, improves blood flow, relieves nerve root compression, and reduces disc pressure.

The ideal treatment positioning is achieved by offering multiple table adjustments, controlled, consistent, and repeatable traction force, stable anchoring through easy to use belting, and the ability to treat effectively regardless of patient size. This unit is best used in comprehensive spine therapy treatments, and helps improve efficiency in patient flow in clinics.

Frequently asked questions

What is the maximum traction force that the Chattanooga TX Traction Unit can provide?

The Chattanooga TX Traction Unit can provide traction tension ranging from 0 to 200 lb.

What programmable traction modes are available?

The Chattanooga TX Traction Unit provides three fully programmable traction modes for highly customized treatment protocols across chronic, sub-acute, and acute spinal conditions. These modes allow clinicians to mimic hands-on therapy while reducing physical strain.

  • Static: Delivers a constant, sustained traction force.
  • Intermittent: Alternates between periods of high tension (pull) and low tension (rest).
  • Cyclic: Provides a rhythmic, repeating pattern of gradually increasing and decreasing tension.

The system allows for user-defined hold, rest, and treatment times, with the capacity to store up to 10 personalized treatment protocols.

Can I save my own preferred treatment protocols on this device?

Yes, the Chattanooga TX Traction Unit allows you to store up to 10 user-defined protocols, making it easy to repeat customized treatments.

What safety features are included with the TX Traction Unit?

The Chattanooga TX Traction Unit is designed with multiple built-in safety mechanisms to ensure patient well-being and clinical control during therapy. This allows for effective treatment while minimizing risk.

Key safety features include:

  • Patient Interrupt Switch: Allows the patient to immediately halt the traction session if they experience any discomfort or need to stop treatment.
  • Cervical Maximum Poundage Warning: This built-in alert notifies the clinician if the set traction tension exceeds the recommended safe limit for cervical traction.
  • Audible Signals: The unit provides distinct sound signals for two key events:
    • Upon activation of the patient interrupt switch.
    • At the conclusion of the treatment period.
Is the TX Traction Unit ideal for spine therapy?

Yes, the Chattanooga TX Traction Unit is specifically designed for providing comprehensive, automated spinal traction therapy in clinical settings for chronic, sub-acute, and acute conditions.Key benefits for both patients and clinicians include:* Precise, Programmable Treatment: Offers Static, Intermittent, and Cyclic traction modes, allowing clinicians to set specific treatment, hold, and rest times for repeatable, customized protocols (up to 10 stored protocols).* Effective Relief: Delivers controlled tension up to 200 lb to relax muscles, improve local blood flow, relieve nerve root compression, and reduce disc pressure.* Reduced Clinician Strain: Successfully mimics hands-on therapy, significantly reducing the physical demands on the therapist.

Does this unit effectively mimic manual therapy?

Yes, the Chattanooga TX Traction Unit is specifically designed to mimic hands-on therapy with fully programmable pull patterns. This allows it to provide consistent and controlled treatment, replicating the feel of manual therapy.

Will this traction unit reduce strain on clinicians?

Absolutely! One of its key benefits is to reduce physical demands on clinicians. By automating traction therapy, it helps alleviate the strain associated with manual treatment, allowing clinicians to provide effective care more efficiently.

How many sessions can the Patient Data Cards record?

The Chattanooga TX Traction Unit can record data for up to 14 individual treatment sessions on each Patient Data Card. This key feature allows clinicians to efficiently track patient progress, review treatment history, and manage specific treatment parameters across multiple uses.

What are the adjustable hold and rest period limits?

The TX Traction Unit provides granular control to customize treatment protocols across static, intermittent, and cyclic modes. This allows clinicians to define precise, repeatable cycles.

The adjustable timing specifications are:

  • Hold Period Range: 0 to 99 Minutes (adjustable in 1-second increments).
  • Rest Period Range: 0 to 99 Seconds (adjustable in 1-second increments).
What are the power requirements for the Chattanooga TX Traction Unit?

The unit operates on a mains power supply of 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz, making it compatible with various power standards.
