How to use Traction Harness System
Used in conjunction with a mechanical traction table to provide traction to patient.
- Place belt on traction table with sewn red stripe facing up. Place the thoracic belt (black square hook) over non-traction device end of table. Pelvic belt should be placed at the traction table separation point. Align red dots on pelvic and thoracic belts to ensure proper alignment.
- When lying supine on the belt, the patient’s iliac crest should line up approximately one inch below the sewn red stripe.
- Secure the outer pelvic belt snugly around the hips. Connect the 2 strap by snapping the quick release buckle. Tighten as necessary by pulling the strap.
- For finer tension adjustment, simply lift the excess strap beyond the buckle and pull down and away with the excess strapping.
- Close the thoracic belt around patient. Placing the belt toward the hips but under the rib cage. Normally the o-ring, by the quick release buckle, will be covered by the thoracic belt.
- Hook the swivel buckle to the center metal o-ring on pelvic belt.
