| COMFORTRAC CERVICAL TRACTION |
| COMFORTABLE • SIMPLE • EFFECTIVE |
| OUR INNOVATIVE DESIGN MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR PATIENTS TO GO HOME WITH THE SAME QUALITY TRACTION THEY RECEIVE DURING PHYSICAL THERAPY. |
The cervical (neck) home traction unit has been carefully engineered to provide maximum comfort, efficacy, and ease of use. Details that highlight this superior design include a push-of-a-button "quick release" pump, and a contouring memory foam headrest that cradles the head. Likewise, transporting the unit has been made effortless through the use of lightweight durable materials and a carry-case with smooth rolling in-line skate wheels and a retractable stow-away handle typically found only in top-quality ballistic luggage.

| The Memory Foam used in the ComforTrac Device |
| The original "memory foam" was developed for NASA astronauts. Sensitive to body temperature with a gel-like consistency, it gives even pressure distribution while it supports and moulds to the body's shape. Memory foam in the headrest and shoulder pillow constantly re-adjust to ensure weight is distributed evenly, with the comfortable feeling of the right "fit". |
|
| HOW TO USE CERVICAL TRACTION : |
|
| 1. |
Lie down on your back placing your neck between the neck wedges, your shoulders on the shoulder pillow and your head on the headrest. Ensure that the head slide is in the starting position by pressing and holding the air release button. |
| 2. |
The neck wedge should comfortably cradle your neck. Adjust the neck wedges according to the recommendations of your clinician or therapist. Place the neck wedge cover between the two wedges for added comfort. |
| 3. |
Place forehead strap around your forehead and adjust for a snug fit. |
| 4. |
Reposition your body so that the base of your head fits firmly between the neck wedges, such that there is no gap between your head and the neck wedges. Ensure that the head slide is in the starting position by pressing and holding the air release button. |
| 5. |
Begin gradually pumping air into the air cylinder until the recommended amount of traction force has been reached. Monitor the hand pump gauge making sure never to exceed the amount of traction force prescribed by your health care professional. |
| 6. |
Stop pumping when the recommended amount of traction force has been attained. The hand pump will hold the pressure automatically. |
| 7. |
After you have reached your recommended traction level, begin timing your traction treatment as prescribed by your health care provider. |
| 8. |
After the traction treatment is complete, press the release button to release the traction. |
| 9. |
Release the forehead strap. Relax for a couple of minutes before removing your head from the COMFORTRAC device. |
