The DRX9000C-SL Cervical Spinal Decompression System provides a program of treatments for relief from pain for those patients suffering with neck pain. It is designed to apply spinal decompressive forces to the spine. Conditions that may be treated include neck pain associated with herniated discs, protruding intervertebral discs, degenerative disc disease, and posterior facet syndrome.

The DRX9000C-SL Cervical Spinal Decompression System provides accurately controlled tensions designed to relax and confuse paraspinal muscles and allow distractive forces to decompress intervertebral spinal disc space. The user interface provided by the treatment computer constantly updates a servo-amplifier controlling a servo-motor to immediately and safely apply forces as determined by qualified healthcare personnel. Load-cell feedback is utilized to further verify and adjust tensile forces, allowing for variations in patient posture and outside forces such that continuous and smooth tension is experienced by the patient. A headpiece harness is used to help distribute the applied forces evenly. Once in place, the patient is slowly reclined to a horizontal position. Following the physician's orders, the therapist localizes the pain, makes any adjustments and directs the treatment to the proper area. The DRX9000C-SL Cervical Spinal Decompression System helps to mobilize the troubled disc segment without introducing further damage to the spine. The patient safety switch is held by the patient who at any time and for any reason may quickly pause any tensile forces. The patient safety switch is monitored and executed by two redundant systems, which will gradually reduce the tension to zero to stop the treatment and after a 5 second delay directly disable the treatment motor. The emergency stop button is accessible to the operator who at any time and for any reason may quickly pause any tensile forces. The emergency stop button is monitored and executed by two redundant systems, which will gradually reduce the tension to zero to stop the treatment and after a 5 second delay directly disable the treatment motor. Integral to effective spinal decompression and included in the device are continuous load-cell tensile feedback into the treatment computer, servo-amplifier and servo-motor, smoothly modulated cyclic tension application (high and low tension plateaus transitioned into via non-linear tension change), headpiece harness, patient safety switch, and mattress.

The Back on Trac (BOTGEN1) and Cervi-Trac Systems are in professional healthcare facilities, to relieve pressures on structures that may be causing pain of skeletal or muscular origin (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, hip, shoulder).

The clTrac is powered traction equipment that offers both static and intermittent traction. Spinal traction is a form of decompression that relieves the pressure on the spine. Traction is a non-surgical, non-invasive and non-pharmaceutical treatment for the management of pain and symptoms from a variety of pressures on muscular or skeletal structures. The clTrac is intended to be used by healthcare professionals (HCP) on their patients. When device is operational, the applied force shall not exceed +/-10% of the target force as set by the operator. clTrac applies a specific force onto the traction cord. The applied force is set by the operator by means of the touch screen and rotary knob. A patient interrupt button is available for the patient to pause the therapy. The cl Trac is a non-invasive therapeutic device. The device consists of a console with ABS housing. The console consists of an aluminium ground plate, an ABS outer shell, a 7" touch screen and a steel central control knob. A 2.9m long cord with a plastic patient interrupt button is plugged into the console.

The Modpod™ Cervical Traction Device provides static and intermittent distraction forces to the cervical spine to relieve pressures on structures that may be causing pain of skeletal or muscular origin. Therapeutic distraction can be applied in a variety of programmable patterns and functions. The device design allows a clinician access to a patients head and neck when hands-on interaction and positioning is needed. Use of the device reduces the level of exertion experienced by the clinician when compared to manual traction therapy techniques. Additionally, hands-on interaction and positioning by the clinician may occur before or after treatment. Painted sheet metal and ABS plastic encasement housing electronic circuitry; software and electronics engage a gear driven motor with load sensors; slide mechanism, and patient head harness to apply cervical traction.

The iTrac c2i cervical traction system is intended for use as a conservative in patients presenting with cervicogenic pain symptoms of mechanical origin related to reduced cervical lordosis extension and altered posture. It temporarily positions the cervical spine into an extension posture of varying degrees, as determined by a clinician. This device is for prescription use only and is not provided in a sterile condition.

The iTrac™ c2i cervical traction system is intended for use as a conservative treatment alternative in patients presenting with cervicogenic pain symptoms of mechanical origin related to reduced cervical lordosis/extension and altered posture. It temporarily positions the cervical spine into an extension posture of varying degrees, as determined by a clinician. This device is for prescription use only and is not provided in a sterile condition. Operational software controls the exertion and release of the pulling forces, operation cycle, and treatment times prescribed by the physician. The iTrac's operational components consist of software, an air compressor, three pneumatic cylinders, two electro-pneumatic regulators, a traction line and pullev system, head halter, fulcrum strap, magnetic safety release, backup flow controls, and mechanical pressure relief valves. All accessories necessary to provide the traction to the patient are included with the device making it a ready to use traction device. A head halter captures the patient's chin during treatment and is connected to an adjustable overhead traction bar that can be manually adjusted by the doctor to the doctor-prescribed traction angle. A fulcrum strap rests on the back of the patient's neck and may be used to provide an additional anterior force. During setup, an electric lift column allows the fulcrum/traction section to be raised or lowered by the doctor to the height doctor prescribed for each patient. For each treatment session the Doctor commands the software to implement a specific treatment time, traction force, and fulcrum force. Utilizing a piecewise linear function calculation the software generates an output signal causing the electro-pneumatic pressure controllers to adjust pressure, delivering the doctor prescribed forces to the fulcrum and traction cylinders. For safety, limits are hard coded in the software to prevent traction and fulcrum forces from exceeding the allowable limits. The software is loaded on a standard personal computer which interfaces with the device via a standard network connection; this standard connection is limited to connection only with the iTrac. A Patient Stop Switch provides additional protection to the patient by operating independent of software to relieve all forces when pressed. When activated, the patient stop switch triggers a relay which, in turn, triggers a solenoid-controlled pneumatic valve causing a quick stop and venting of all pneumatic pressure to the cylinders. This action immediately relieves the patient of traction forces and sends a discrete output from the relay to the I/O Module, placing the treatment session into 'Pause' within the software. As an added safety measure the software requires the patient stop switch to be pressed before the start of each treatment during the treatment start protocol to ensure its functionality.
