Mettler MTD 4000 Traction Head Unit
Description
The Mettler MTD 4000 Traction Head Unit is a professional-grade cervical and lumbar traction system designed for clinical use by doctors, physical therapists, and rehabilitation specialists. It delivers precise therapeutic pulling forces to gently separate vertebral segments, relieving pressure on spinal discs and surrounding soft tissue. The MTD 4000 supports both static (continuous) and intermittent traction modes, with fully user-definable hold, rest, and treatment times to match each patient's unique therapy protocol.
Built for reliability and ease of use, the unit features an intuitive Yellow/Green Digital LED display, multiple onboard safety controls, and a high-strength traction cable capable of up to 198 lb (90 kg) of output force. Its versatile mounting design is compatible with most table platforms equipped with a pedestal mount, making it a practical addition to virtually any clinical setting. With the ability to store up to eight custom protocols and three selectable traction speeds, the MTD 4000 gives clinicians the precision and flexibility to deliver consistent, effective decompression therapy session after session.
