Read the full statement (134 words)

The Triton/Tru-Trac/TX traction devices provide traction and mobilization of skeletal structures and skeletal muscles.

The Triton/Tru-Trac/TX traction devices provide a treatment in static, intermittent, progressive, regressive and cycling distraction forces to relieve pressures on structures that may be causing pain of skeletal or muscular origin (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, hip, wrist, shoulder). Therapeutic distraction can be applied in a variety of programmable patterns, cycles and functions.

The Triton/Tru-Trac/TX traction devices may be used to relieve peripheral radiation/sciatica and pain associated with:

Protruding discs

Bulging discs

Herniated discs

Degenerative disc disease

Posterior facet syndrome

Acute facet problems

Radicular pain

Prolapsed discs

Spinal root impingement

Hypomobility

Degenerative joint disease

Facet syndrome

Compressions fractures

Joint pain

Discogenic pain

The Triton/Tru-Trac/TX traction devices achieve these effects through decompression of intervertebral discs, that is, unloading due to distraction and positioning.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA 510(k) statement.
