OPERATION

sEMG TRACTION TREATMENT

NOTE: sEMG is only used as a trigger to begin traction therapy.
Preparing for sEMG Traction Therapy
•
Do not apply electrodes over broken or compromised skin (e.g.,
sunburn, cuts, acne) due to increased risk of skin reactions.
Plug the sEMG lead wire into the front
of the unit.
Examine the patient's skin for
any wounds and clean the skin.
Chattanooga Group recommends
using only Dura-Stick® II Electrodes
to obtain the most accurate sEMG
feedback.
Connect the Dura-Stick II disposable
electrodes to the lead wire. Leave
the electrodes on the protective
backing until treatment area has been
prepared. Ensure the electrodes are
applied securely to the skin.
•
Handle, clean, and dispose of components and accessories that have
come in contact with bodily fluids according to National, Local and
Facility rules, regulations and procedures.
• The Patient Interrupt Switch must be in the patient's grasp throughout
the traction therapy.

Triton® Traction
Give the Patient Interrupt Switch
to the patient, instructing that
pressing the red button will stop the
treatment.
The Patient Interrupt Switch also
serves as a visual indicator for the
patient with sEMG. Once a patient
is hooked up to electrodes, the blue
lights on the Patient Interrupt Switch
show the amount of tension of the
patient. The increased number of blue
lights indicate higher levels of tension
in a patient.
