Chattanooga Triton Traction Unit

Empower your practice with the Triton Traction Unit, a sophisticated system designed to deliver precise spinal decompression therapy. Engineered for clinical versatility, this device provides practitioners with total control over treatment parameters, ensuring that every session is tailored to the specific physiological needs of the patient. By combining advanced mechanics with an intuitive digital interface, the Triton allows for the seamless management of complex spinal conditions, making it an essential asset for high-volume therapy clinics seeking to optimize patient outcomes.

The Triton Traction Unit distinguishes itself through its comprehensive programming options. Practitioners can utilize static, intermittent, and cycling traction modes to address a variety of pathologies. The device features independent timers that allow for the easy customization of traction pulls during progressive, regressive, and traction phases. This granular control ensures that the force is applied and released exactly as the treatment plan requires, accommodating acute and chronic conditions alike.

Key Benefits and Features

• Customizable Traction Modes: Choose between static, intermittent, and cycling traction to best suit your patient's pathology and comfort level.
• Independent Timer Control: Easily customize traction pulls during progressive, regressive, and traction phases with independent timers, allowing for precise dosage and treatment progression.
• Variable Speed Motor: Adjust the speed of the pull to 30%, 50%, or 100%, offering flexibility to treat acute or sensitive patients with a gentle touch, or using full speed for standard protocols.
• Patient Comfort and Safety: The pretension step gently eases the patient into traction, testing their tolerance to force and preventing the body's natural guarding response, leading to more effective therapy sessions.
• Clinical Protocols: Access built-in clinical protocols for common cervical and lumbar conditions, giving you a reliable starting point for treatment that you can further customize.
• Visual Education Tools: A full-color graphic library includes visual tutorials on belting techniques, detailed anatomical images, and illustrations of common pathologies, making it easier to educate patients about their condition and treatment.
• High-Resolution Interface: The digital color touch screen is bright, responsive, and pivots 270 degrees, ensuring the display is always visible to the clinician regardless of where they are positioned around the patient.
• Save Custom Protocols: Store up to 80 user-defined protocol slots, saving you setup time for recurring patients or specific treatment methodologies you develop.
• Patient Data Management: Utilize Patient Data Cards to easily store and recall treatment parameters, pain scales, and pain maps, streamlining documentation and ensuring continuity of care.
• Expandable Capabilities: The unit is ready to grow with your practice, offering an upgrade path with an optional EMG module for even more advanced biofeedback capabilities.

Patient Comfort and Safety

Therapy is most effective when the patient is relaxed, and the Triton Traction Unit is engineered to minimize anxiety and muscle tension. The variable speed motor—adjustable to 30%, 50%, and 100%—ensures smooth transitions during the pull. Furthermore, the specialized pretension step eases the patient into traction. This critical feature helps prevent muscle guarding by gradually introducing force, allowing the clinician to pretest the patient’s tolerance before full treatment begins. For those requiring biofeedback, the system is ready to upgrade with an optional EMG module.

Indications of Use

This unit is designed for mechanical traction therapy to relieve pain and increase range of motion. It effectively addresses mechanical and physiological issues including:

• Herniated or Bulging Discs: Creating negative pressure to encourage disc retraction.
• Degenerative Disc Disease: alleviating pressure on compromised spinal structures.
• Joint Hypomobility: Mobilizing stiff joints through controlled stretching.
• Generalized Back and Neck Pain: Reducing muscle spasms and nerve root compression.
