Differences between Detensor and other spinal traction devices
The Detensor Therapy Systems are fabricated with water-processed open-cell polyurethane cold foam, possessing high elasticity and ventilation features.
The foam is ribbed with a patented lamella system which allows for the body weight to be redirected and air to flow evenly through the mat.
The Detensor works in a gentle way which allows for the spine to be stretched while in a lying position.
Does not apply external power or strength to the spine stretching in addition to redistributing the patient's weight.
The Detensor traction therapy system was also developed for an easy set up without the use of straps, belts and harnesses making it very efficient and comfortable for a person to use.
