This Traction Table Belt adheres to the patient and traction table to prevent slippage and make application quick and easy. The nylon straps feature quick release buckles to make tension adjustment easier and convincingly faster fitting time. The faster fitting time allows most patients to be fitted in a minute or less and require little to no readjustment during treatment. The thoracic wrap is contoured to fit comfortably under the rib cage of female and male patients without sacrificing comfort. One of the most desirable features of therapists who will be using traction belts is the non-slip fabric. This fabric is durable and ensures that the system stays in place without slipping, even when worn over clothing. This belt system is made to fit waists ranging from 24 to 60 and works with the majority of traction tables.
Instructions for Use:
Used in conjunction with a mechanical traction table to provide traction therapy to the patient
1. Place belt on a traction table with sewn red stripe facing up. Place the thoracic belt over the non-traction device end of the table. The pelvic belt should be placed at the traction table separation point. Align the red dots on pelvic and thoracic belts to ensure alignment.
2. When lying in a supine position on the belt, the patients iliac crest should line up approximately one inch below the sewn red stripe.
3. Secure the outer pelvic belt snugly around the hips. Connect the 2 straps by snapping the quick release buckle. Tighten as necessary by pulling the strap.
4. For finer tension adjustment, simply lift the excess strap beyond the buckle and pull down and away with the excess strapping
5. Close the thoracic belt around the patient with the belt toward the hips but under the rib cage
6. Hook the swivel buckle to the center metal o-ring on the pelvic belt
7. Begin traction treatment
