Chattanooga TX Traction Unit

The Chattanooga TX Traction Unit is a benchtop mechanical traction unit that mobilizes muscles, joints and ligaments with graduated static, intermittent and cyclic traction, mimicking hands-on therapy with controlled, repeatable forces. A motor winds the cord through a load cell to the belting or cervical applicator and holds the pull you program. Tension runs 0 to 200 lb (0 to 90 kg) in 1 lb steps, so a cervical pull rises a pound at a time. It is easy to operate, and it comes as the head alone or as a kit with bolsters and belting.

Hold and rest times run 0 to 99 seconds each in 1 second steps inside a traction period of 1 to 99 minutes, with 1 to 9 progressive and regressive steps to ramp the pull on and off. Up to 10 user-defined treatment protocols are stored on the high contrast monochrome touch screen, enough for a clinic working from a settled set of cervical and lumbar parameters.

The unit measures 9.5 x 17.5 x 17.5 in. (24 x 45 x 45 cm) and weighs 30 lb (14 kg / 134 N), 40 lb (18 kg / 178 N) shipped. The table, the belting and the cervical applicator are each ordered separately. The head is also known as the Tru-Trac Traction Device.

The head

How it works

The TX keeps a measured pull, three modes, per-protocol timers and three safety features on one easy-to-operate panel.

Tension in 1 lb steps
The pull is set in pounds and held against a load cell reading. The traction type is mechanical, taken through a motor-driven cord to whichever belt or applicator you have hooked to the clevis.
0-200 lb
Traction modes and steps
Static, intermittent and cyclic traction, with progressive and regressive steps from 1 to 9. Every time is set per protocol, so a cervical setup and a lumbar setup can sit side by side in the unit's memory.
1-99 min
Stored protocols
The unit holds up to 10 user-defined treatment protocols on a high contrast monochrome touch screen that pivots through 270 deg, and the panel faces you from either side of the table. Each protocol keeps its own pull, mode and timers, ready to recall for the next session.
10 slots
The unit will not run without the switch
Three safety features are built into the head: the Patient Interrupt Switch, a cervical maximum poundage warning, and an audible signal at the end of treatment and when the switch is activated. The switch must stay in the patient's grasp for the whole of the traction therapy, and the unit will not run without it.

TX in the clinic

Key features

A TX head records each patient on a card, bolts on with its own bracket, and runs on 120 V or 230 V.

Bolts on with its own bracket
The securing bracket in the carton bolts the head to a traction table or a table-mounted traction pedestal.
Runs on 120 V or 230 V
Mains input runs 100 V to 240 V at 50/60 Hz, so the same head works on a 120 V or a 230 V supply.
Traction kits with the head
The TX Traction Kit with Bolsters supplies the head with the knee bolster set, the QuikWrap belting system and the Saunders Clinical Cervical Traction System. The stool version swaps the bolsters for a two-section flexion stool.
Patient Data Cards
Each card records up to 14 treatment sessions, with treatment parameters, pain scales and pain maps, and five ship in the carton. A card carries a returning patient's settings from one visit to the next.

The range

How it compares

The Triton runs eighty protocols on a color screen. The Traction Kit supplies this same TX with belting, the cervical device and a flexion stool.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

No. The TX is a benchtop head. The securing bracket ships in the carton, and it bolts the unit to a traction table or a table-mounted traction pedestal. The Galaxy TTET-300, the Galaxy TTET-400, the Triton 6M and the Triton 6E are sold separately and each carries the head.

The TX Patient Interrupt Switch, part 48082. Test its cable before each use.

The carton holds the TX Traction Unit, Patient Data Cards (5), the Patient Interrupt Switch (9 ft cable, shielded, 26 AWG), the Patient Interrupt Switch Hook Kit, the Securing Bracket, the Mains Power Cord (80 in. cable, shielded, 18 AWG) and the User Manual. The belting, the cervical applicator and the table are sold separately.

100 V to 240 V at 50/60 Hz, drawing 75 VA (75 W) and 3.2 A max, Class I, Type B. The unit conforms to ANSI/UL STD 60601-1 and is certified to CAN/CSA Standard C22.2 No. 601.1-M90 w/A2. The head measures 9.5 x 17.5 x 17.5 in. (24 x 45 x 45 cm).

The TX head carries a two-year warranty. Annual factory calibration is required for TX traction units, and the traction cord should be inspected for wear before each use; the replacement cord is part 48031.

Static holds one force for the whole traction period. Intermittent alternates between the set pull and a lower level on the hold and rest timers, each of which you set from 0 to 99 seconds in 1 second steps. Cyclic works the force up and down through the progressive and regressive steps, which run 1 to 9.

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 clinician running the head must have read all of the instructions before administering treatment, including the full contraindication list.

It is the TX Traction Kit with a flexion stool, with a two-section height-adjustable stool in place of the knee bolster set.
