THE SPINEMED® ADVANTAGES

SpineMED® offers the most advanced decompression system in the market.

• Advanced Computer Controls to Overcome Reflex Contractions

It is commonly recognized that achieving decompression depends upon the ability to distract the spine without eliciting reflex muscle contractions or spasms. SpineMED®’s computer controlled biofeedback response adjusts distractive forces at an astounding rate of 20 milliseconds (the human neurological response is approximately 50 milliseconds). Old designs simply cannot react and adjust tensions at this incredible speed. While their load sensors and motors are designed to adjust forces in less than a second, the true reaction time is significantly longer as the force is disbursed and absorbed through the traction box, nylon webbing, pulleys, and harness systems. This ability to almost instantly sense and adjust tensions is a key difference that distinguishes SpineMED® Decompression from other devices and conventional traction.

SpineMed® also incorporates Built-in Infrared Light Therapy to help relax paravetebral tissues and promotes cellular activity to accelerate healing.

• Focused Distraction

Zero-in and accurately isolate damaged discs. SpineMED®’s pelvic tilt feature rotates the pelvis between 0-25 degrees during lumbar sessions, while the cervical section positions the head between 0-30 degrees of flexion for cervical sessions. Adjustable patient positioning is designed to accurately move the focal point of distraction, allowing SpineMED® to target specific spinal segments. Older technologies attempt this by raising or lowering the traction box within their tower design.

• Lower Force Requirements

Reduce the pressure on your patients. With the elimination of outdated harnesses and direct capture of the pelvis with the patented restraints, SpineMED® decompression protocols call for a fraction of the force required with the previous devices. For example, the average protocol for a 200 lb patient on SpineMED® is 60 lbs of force, compared with over 110 lbs on older devices. SpineMED®’s lower force requirements dramatically increase patient comfort and tolerance while virtually eliminating any risk of exacerbations or other negative side effects.

• Wider Patient Suitability

SpineMED®’s ability to achieve results using lower forces also increases the scope of suitable patients, especially with acute to sub-acute patients, frail patients, and the growing geriatric population. SpineMED®’s pelvic restraints comfortably secure patients of virtually any size (70 to 500 lbs). The restraints effectively displace adipose tissue to capture the skeletal structure without having to rely on different-sized harnesses.
