HipTrac™

HipTrac is a robust, lightweight and portable hip joint traction device. The hip joint can be positioned in 0°, 10°, 20° and 30° flexion. The abduction can be selected individually. The traction force is adjusted with a hand pump and transmitted via two cuffs which are fitted above the ankle and knee joints. The intensity can be read off by means of a display on the pump.

All occurring hip problems, especially arthrosis, are a growing problem for people. Manual traction of this joint is perceived by athletes and patients as very beneficial and can often significantly improve the painful or movement-restricting condition.

With the HipTrac™ a device has been developed that can also perform this beneficial traction. Thus, this device is available as an apparative therapy for medical staff in hospitals, in rehabilitation facilities or in practices as an apparative therapy. In addition, the device can also be used effectively for self-treatment at home.
