Triton® Traction

About trAction therApy

The Triton traction device provides traction and mobilization of skeletal
structures and skeletal muscles.

The Triton traction device may be used to relieve peripheral radiation/
sciatica and pain associated with:

• Protruding discs

• Spinal root impingement

• Bulging discs

• Hypomobility

• Herniated discs

• Degenerative joint disease

• Degenerative disc disease

• Facet syndrome

• Posterior facet syndrome

• Compressions fracture

• Acute facet problems

• Joint pain

• Radicular pain

• Discogenic pain

• Prolapsed discs

The Triton traction device achieves these effects through mechanical
traction of intervertebral discs, that is, unloading due to distraction and
positioning.

Traction is contraindicated for the following:

• Structural disease secondary to tumor or infection

• Patients with vascular compromise

• Any condition for which movement is contraindicated

• Patients with acute strains, sprains, and inflammation which would be
aggravated by traction therapy

• Patients with joint instability of the spine

• Pregnancy

• Osteoporosis

• Hiatus hernia

• Claustrophobia

• Cardiac or pulmonary problems
