Professional-grade Saunders lumbar traction device is black, grey, and white. It has a portable design with a black zippered carrying case, adjustable straps with plastic buckles, a hand pump, and the original user's guide. The unit is constructed from durable plastic and fabric materials.
It is a self-contained pneumatic lumbar traction unit that a patient uses lying on the floor at home, between clinic visits. The patient straps into an upper thoracic harness and a lower pelvic harness, lies supine on the device, and squeezes a hand pump. The pump drives a pneumatic cylinder that pushes the two halves of a split table apart, and an easy-to-read gauge on the pump reads the force the patient is applying.
