Chattanooga Saunders

Chattanooga Saunders Cervical Traction Device

The Chattanooga Saunders Cervical Traction Device is a clinical cervical traction applicator that pulls at the base of the occiput when it is attached to a Chattanooga traction unit. It is a head pad, a neck carriage running on a low-friction track, a pair of neck wedges and a head strap. The pull comes from the traction unit and is taken at the back of the head. No chin halter is used, and nothing loads the jaw. The clevis that couples it to the head is included, and it comes in three mounting versions: TX 1-7, TRUE-EZE and TRITON.

It works with a Chattanooga traction head and a table with a traction pedestal, both sold separately, and it is also known as the Clinical Cervical Traction System.

The applicator

How it works

The wedge position, the mounting and the height of the table pedestal decide how the pull reaches the patient.

Wedges at 1.5 in. below the occiput
The neck wedges are placed at the mid-cervical region, approximately 1.5 in. (3.81 cm) below the occipital bone. The placement sets where on the skull the pull is taken, and marking it on the carriage makes the setup repeatable from one session to the next.
1.5 in.
Clevis mounting
Older heads mount as Triton, TX, and TX with TX Bracket variants, and newer heads take a simplified attachment through clevis attachment slots. The clevis itself is supplied with the device, and each of the three mounting versions matches its own head.
Triton and TX
Angle set at the pedestal
There is no angle adjustment on the applicator itself. The traction angle is set by adjusting the height of the table's traction pedestal, and the applicator follows whatever angle the table gives it.
Pedestal height
A single fastener size
Assembly uses 1/4-20 x 5/8 in. socket head cap screws throughout, so one hex key services the whole applicator. DJO, LLC of Vista, California is the legal manufacturer, working to an ISO 13485 certified quality system.

Saunders clinical

Key features

A Saunders clinical device stays on the traction table between patients, with one carriage for every setup and its clevis supplied.

Clevis included
The clevis attachment ships with the device. A separately sold clevis package is a spare, or the bracket that lets a second traction table take the same applicator.
Horizontal and unilateral
The same carriage serves horizontal and unilateral traction setups, with no second applicator for either.
Low-friction carriage
The neck carriage runs on a low-friction track and moves with the pull from the traction head.
Patient-contact surfaces
The head pad, the two neck wedges and the head strap touch the patient and wipe down between patients.

The Saunders range

How it compares

The clinical cervical device mounts to a powered traction head such as the TX Traction Unit. The Saunders Lumbar Traction Device is a self-contained home unit worked from a hand pump.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

No. It is the cervical applicator that a traction machine pulls on. It has no motor, no gauge and no controls. A Chattanooga TX Traction Unit or Triton Traction Unit generates and regulates the force, and this device carries it to the patient's head.

Triton, TX, and TX with TX Bracket variants for older models, and a simplified attachment through clevis attachment slots for newer ones. It comes in three mounting versions, TX 1-7, TRUE-EZE and TRITON, each matching its own head. It carries the pull from a TX Traction Unit or a Triton Traction Unit on a Galaxy TTET-300, Galaxy TTET-400, Triton 6M or Triton 6E traction table.

The head pad, the neck carriage on its low-friction track, a pair of neck wedges, the head strap and the clevis attachment, with the instructions for use. The traction head, the traction cord and the table are sold separately.

Patient fit is one size fits most. The head strap and the neck carriage take up the difference between one patient and the next, and the wedges are positioned to each patient at the mid-cervical region.

Mount it to the powered traction head through the clevis, set the neck wedges, fit the head strap, and set force, hold and rest on the traction unit doing the pulling. The Patient Interrupt Switch on the traction unit must be in the patient's grasp throughout the traction therapy.

Yes. It ships inside the TX Traction Kits, inside the TX kit that carries knee bolsters in place of the flexion stool, and inside the Triton DTS Advanced Accessory Package. The Triton DTS Basic package is the DTS unit, the QuikWrap belting and a pair of knee bolsters, and this device with the Stabilizer pressure biofeedback unit makes up the whole difference between Basic and Advanced.

No. The Saunders Cervical Traction Device with Case is a self-contained pneumatic unit with its own hand pump, gauge and carry case, built for home use. This clinical device has no pump and no gauge and mounts to a powered traction head through its clevis.

Traction is contraindicated for a list that includes structural disease from tumor or infection, vascular compromise, acute strains, sprains, inflammation, joint instability, pregnancy, osteoporosis, hiatus hernia, claustrophobia, and cardiac or pulmonary problems. The full contraindication and warning list ships with the traction unit that pulls the applicator.
