$100.00

Traction equipment applies a pulling force to a part of the body, most commonly to the spine or a fractured limb, to alleviate pain, reduce muscle spasms, or realign bones. It can be applied continuously or intermittently, using weights, ropes, and pulleys or mechanical devices. Traction is used in orthopedics to stabilize fractures, decompress spinal nerves, or reduce deformities. While its use has evolved, it remains a valuable therapeutic tool for specific musculoskeletal conditions.

Traction equipment in healthcare refers to devices used to apply a pulling force to a part of the body, most commonly the spine or a limb. The primary goal of traction is to realign fractured bones, relieve pressure on nerves (especially in the spine), reduce muscle spasms, or stretch soft tissues. Traction can be applied continuously or intermittently, and its type varies from skeletal traction (involving pins inserted into bone) to skin traction (using adhesive tape or a boot). It is frequently employed in orthopedics to stabilize fractures, manage disc herniations, alleviate back pain, and prepare for surgery. While less common for long-term use in modern medicine due to advancements in surgical techniques, traction remains a valuable therapeutic modality for specific musculoskeletal conditions, providing pain relief and promoting proper healing by maintaining alignment.
