Saunders® Lumbar Home Traction Device

The Saunders® Lumbar Home Traction Device is a portable lumbar traction system designed to deliver low back traction (lumbar stretching) under clinician direction. It’s built for repeatable home use with a controlled pneumatic design and a clear pressure gauge for monitoring force.

Home traction can help extend the benefits of in-clinic care by enabling consistent, frequent traction sessions—without relying solely on clinic appointments. Patients can perform treatments at home, at work, or while traveling, which can support adherence for longer-term or recurring conditions.

• Helps reduce dependence on limited clinic visits by supporting clinician-guided home sessions
• Enables more regular traction routines in everyday environments (home, workplace, travel)
• Can be used as part of a plan to manage ongoing or recurring lumbar symptoms

Controlled force application

• Easy-to-read pressure gauge to monitor and adjust traction force during treatment
• Blow-off valve designed to limit how much force can be applied

• Split-table design intended to emulate clinical traction positioning and improve consistency
• Low-friction, smoothly moving surface to promote controlled motion during traction
• Pneumatic system (patented) engineered for dependable force accuracy and leak-resistant performance

• Treatments can be performed on a bed (no need to get down on the floor)
• The carrying case doubles as the treatment base, supporting comfortable use and easier storage
• Detachable wheels help with transport between home, clinic, and travel locations

• Delivered as a ready-to-use system intended to streamline home setup
• Non-slip harnessing with belt organizers to speed fitting and positioning
• Pump connection designed for a simple “click-in-place” attachment

Traction may be used as an adjunct for symptoms associated with the conditions below. Protocols should be individualized and performed to patient tolerance and clinical judgment.

*These values are presented as general guideline ranges from the product literature and should be adjusted to patient presentation and tolerance.

• Build toward the recommended force/time gradually; for acute or irritable cases, some protocols start with shorter sessions (e.g., 3–5 minutes) and progress.
• More lumbar flexion can be achieved with pillows/bolsters under the knees.
• More lumbar extension can be achieved by adding a towel/wedge under the lumbar region or by using the device in the prone position.
