Saunders STx Manufacturer's Model #100799
Although the STx was designed for patient home use, its unique features are causing healthcare providers to use it as a clinical device!
What makes it so effective? Force is applied via a hand held pump, actively separating the lower half of the treatment surface. The active, friction-free force is highly efficient. Less pressure is transmitted through the pelvic belts, concentrating the traction force just where it's needed.
Features
- Friction-free track and actively moving treatment surface allow smooth and highly efficient application of lumbar traction
- Patented pump incorporates an easy "click into place" mechanism for pumping, sustaining and releasing the traction. It's easy to use and eliminates air leaks
- Gauge is calibrated in pounds and kilograms to provide feedback and promote consistency in treatment
- Weighs less than 30 pounds and can be set up in 30 seconds
- Storage compartment holds belts, pump, instructional video and manual
- Applies up to 200 pounds of traction
- Patient is held secure by comfortable thoracic and pelvic belts; most people can position themselves in the device without any help
- Safety feature: our unique pressure valve limits the amount of force to 200 pounds, and the traction force can be released easily and immediately by the patient if necessary
A physician's prescription is required for the Lumbar STx.
