Pronex Cervical Traction Unit

The advantage of using Pronex is that it is a traction device that creates an even distraction in the anterior and posterior cervical discs while supporting the cervical curve. Pronex is also very portable, comfortable and convenient.  The expandable section (bellows) is latex. In special medical conditions, a doctor may recommend that a patient’s head and cervical spine be slightly elevated during supine traction. Each Pronex kit includes a flexion wedge to provide such elevation.

How does the Pronex Pneumatic Cervical Traction unit work?

The Pronex Pneumatic Cervical Traction Unit cradles the reclining patient's head and neck on two soft foam cushions. One cushion supports the occiput (base of the head) and the other rests against the upper trapezius (upper shoulder area). An air-inflated bellows between them and provides more than 20 lbs of continuously adjustable traction. As the bellows expands, it lifts the head upward supporting the cervical curve and maintaining an even distraction (stretch) in the anterior (front) and posterior (back) cervical discs. Patients have total control over the amount of traction applied. Squeezing an inflator bulb increases the pressure, a release knob gently reduces it.
