SAFEX INCs traction table is a specialized medical device used in physical therapy and rehabilitation settings to apply traction to the spine or extremities for therapeutic purposes. Traction is a therapeutic technique that involves applying a pulling force to the body to decompress spinal structures, relieve pressure on nerves, and alleviate pain associated with various musculoskeletal conditions. Here's an overview of the features and functions of a traction table:

1. Adjustable Platform: A traction table typically features a flat, padded platform on which the patient lies during treatment. The platform is adjustable in height and may have sections that can be tilted or angled to accommodate different treatment positions and techniques.

2. Traction Mechanism: The traction mechanism is the component of the table that applies the pulling force to the patient's body. It may consist of a motorized system or manual controls that allow the therapist to adjust the amount of traction force applied, as well as the duration and frequency of treatment sessions.

3. Traction Modes: Traction tables may offer different modes of traction, including lumbar traction, cervical traction, and extremity traction. Lumbar traction targets the lower back and sacral region, while cervical traction focuses on the neck and upper spine. Extremity traction may be used to treat conditions affecting the arms or legs, such as fractures, joint dislocations, or soft tissue injuries.

4. Harnesses and Supports: Traction tables are equipped with harnesses, straps, or supports to secure the patient in place during treatment and ensure proper alignment and positioning. These may include pelvic harnesses, thoracic belts, cervical collars, or limb straps, depending on the area of the body being treated.

5. Monitoring and Safety Features: Traction tables may be equipped with monitoring devices and safety features to ensure the safety and comfort of the patient during treatment. These may include digital displays to monitor traction force, automatic shut-off mechanisms, emergency stop buttons, and patient alarms to alert the therapist to any issues or discomfort experienced by the patient.

6. Therapeutic Benefits: Traction therapy performed on a traction table can provide numerous therapeutic benefits for individuals with musculoskeletal conditions such as herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, facet joint dysfunction, and radiculopathy. Traction helps decompress spinal structures, relieve pressure on nerves, improve spinal alignment, and promote healing of injured tissues, resulting in reduced pain, improved mobility, and enhanced function.

7. Patient Comfort: Traction tables are designed to provide optimal comfort for patients during treatment. The padded platform, adjustable supports, and ergonomic design ensure that patients can relax and remain in a comfortable position throughout the traction session.
