Ensure the highest standard of safety and patient confidence during spinal decompression therapy with the Patient Interrupt Switch for the Triton DTS. This essential accessory serves as a vital link between the patient and the traction unit, placing immediate control directly in the palm of their hand. By providing a tangible way to stop treatment instantly, this device helps alleviate patient anxiety regarding mechanical traction, fostering a more relaxed environment that can lead to better therapeutic outcomes. It acts as a primary safety mechanism, protecting your practice and your patients from potential discomfort or injury during automated therapy sessions.

In addition to its safety features, the remote control also promotes patient independence and empowerment. By allowing patients to have control over their treatment, they feel more involved in their own recovery process. This can lead to increased motivation and compliance with therapy protocols, ultimately resulting in better overall outcomes.

Key Features and Benefits

Instant Safety Mechanism: The switch features a highly responsive, prominent red button. When depressed, it immediately cuts power to the traction motor and releases tension, ensuring that therapy stops the moment a patient feels discomfort or pain.
Reduced Patient Anxiety: Holding the interrupt switch empowers patients, giving them a sense of control over the procedure. This psychological reassurance often prevents muscle guarding and promotes the relaxation necessary for effective decompression.
Ergonomic and Accessible Design: Designed with a contoured shape that fits naturally in the hand, the switch is easy to grip for the duration of the treatment. The activation button requires minimal pressure, making it accessible even for patients with compromised hand strength or dexterity.
Seamless Integration: Engineered specifically for the Chattanooga Triton DTS Traction System, this switch connects securely to the unit to ensure reliable, lag-free communication between the remote and the console.
Durable Medical-Grade Construction: Built to withstand the demands of high-volume clinics, the heavy-duty cabling and robust housing ensure longevity. The surface is smooth and non-porous, allowing for quick and effective sanitization between patients.

Indication of Use

The Patient Interrupt Switch is indicated for use exclusively with the Triton DTS Traction System during mechanical traction therapy. It is designed to be held by the patient throughout the entire duration of the lumbar or cervical traction session. The device is intended to allow the patient to immediately discontinue the mechanical force if they experience increased pain, unfamiliar sensations, or general distress during the procedure. It is recommended that the Patient Interrupt Switch be used in conjunction with a trained healthcare professional.

Benefits of Using the Patient Interrupt Switch

There are several benefits to using the Patient Interrupt Switch during mechanical traction therapy. Some of these include:

Increased safety: The switch allows patients to have control over their own treatment, providing them with a sense of security and comfort.
Enhanced patient experience: Patients may feel more at ease knowing they can stop the procedure at any time if they feel uncomfortable.
Improved communication between patient and therapist: The switch enables clear communication between the patient and therapist, as the patient can easily indicate when they need to pause or end the treatment.
Better outcomes: By allowing patients to have control over their treatment, they may be more willing to fully participate and engage in the therapy, which can lead to better outcomes.
