Complete Guide to the Saunders Cervical Traction Device (E0849)
What Is the Saunders Cervical Traction Device?
The Saunders Cervical Traction Device (Model E0849) is a pneumatic home traction unit that replicates clinical-grade cervical decompression therapy in the comfort of your home. Unlike over-the-door traction devices that rely on water bags or gravity, the Saunders system uses a handheld pump with an integrated pressure gauge to deliver precise, controlled traction forces up to 50 lbs.
Designed by physical therapy experts, this device features patented self-adjusting neck wedges that conform to your anatomy, ensuring optimal force distribution without compressing the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The three adjustable incline angles (15°, 20°, and 25°) allow you to customize your treatment based on your condition and comfort level.
- Traction Force: Up to 50 lbs (22.7 kg)
- Angle Settings: 15°, 20°, 25°
- Assembly: None required—ready to use out of the case
- Carrying Case: Deluxe padded case included
- HCPCS Code: E0849 (insurance billing code)
- FDA Status: Registered medical device
Conditions Treated by Cervical Traction
Cervical traction therapy is recommended by healthcare providers for a variety of neck and spine conditions. The Saunders Cervical Traction Device is commonly used to treat:
Herniated Discs (Cervical Disc Herniation)
When the soft inner material of a spinal disc pushes through the outer layer, it can press on nearby nerves, causing pain, numbness, and weakness. Cervical traction creates negative pressure within the disc space, potentially helping retract herniated material and reduce nerve compression.
Pinched Nerves (Cervical Radiculopathy)
A pinched nerve in the neck occurs when nerve roots are compressed or irritated as they exit the spinal column. Symptoms include radiating pain, tingling, and numbness down the arm. Traction opens the intervertebral foramina (the spaces where nerves exit), relieving pressure on affected nerve roots.
Degenerative Disc Disease
As spinal discs age, they lose hydration and height, reducing the space between vertebrae. This can lead to bone spurs, stiffness, and chronic pain. Cervical traction helps maintain disc height and spinal alignment, potentially slowing degenerative progression and relieving symptoms.
Neck Pain and Muscle Spasms
Chronic neck tension and muscle spasms often result from poor posture, stress, or overuse. Traction gently stretches tight muscles and ligaments, promoting relaxation and improving range of motion.
TMJ-Related Discomfort
Because the Saunders device directs traction forces to the back of the head rather than the jaw, it avoids compressing the temporomandibular joint, making it suitable for patients with TMJ concerns.
How Does the Saunders Device Work?
The Saunders Cervical Traction Device uses a patented pneumatic system to create controlled, progressive traction:
- Positioning: Lie on your back on a firm surface (bed or couch). Place the device behind your neck with the self-adjusting wedges supporting the base of your skull.
- Securing: Fasten the adjustable head strap so it feels secure but not tight. The neck wedges automatically conform to your anatomy.
- Applying Traction: Use the handheld pump to gradually increase pressure. The easy-to-read gauge shows exactly how much force you're applying—up to 50 lbs.
- Angle Adjustment: Select from three incline settings (15°, 20°, or 25°) to target specific cervical segments. Higher angles provide more aggressive traction.
- Safety Features: The blow-off valve automatically limits maximum force, preventing over-traction. A pressure release valve allows quick, controlled decompression.
- Treatment Duration: Typically 15–20 minutes per session, 1–2 times daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider.
- Storage: After use, store the device in the included deluxe carrying case for protection and portability.
