The Pronex Pneumatic Cervical Traction device works by supporting the head and neck between 2 cushions that are then inflated by air providing an even stretch to the cervical discs. Pressure is increased and decreased gently by the patient squeezing a bulb inflator so they have full control of their own traction.

How does pascal's principle apply to pneumatic devices?

Pascal's principle states that a change in pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted uniformly in all directions. In pneumatic devices, such as pneumatic cylinders or air brakes, this principle is utilized to control the movement or operation of the device by applying pressure to the enclosed air, which then transmits force to the components of the device.


What is position balance transducer pneumatic?

A position balance transducer pneumatic is a device used to measure and transmit angular or linear position changes in a system. It operates based on pneumatic pressure changes that are proportional to the movement being measured. This type of transducer is commonly used in control systems where precise positioning information is required.


What is a pneumatic machine?

A pneumatic machine is a device that uses compressed air to perform work. These machines are often used in industries for tasks like powering tools, controlling valves, or moving objects. The compressed air is typically generated by an air compressor and then used to actuate the machine's components.

Trackball.


How is a hairdryer a pneumatic system?

A hair dryer is actually not a good example of a pneumatic system. A pneumatic or hydrologic system uses fluid (gas or liquid) to transfer force over a distance. Hair dryers lack almost all components found in a pneumatic system. The internal operation of a hair drier is simple, a fan creates a high pressure air pocket on the heating element, and this high pressure air pocket cause air to be sucked in the back, and pushed out the blowing end. Hopefully this helps your endeavors. J. Salsieder

Restore a normal cervical curve?

Your question is not a question so it''s unclear what you mean. If you mean "Can you restore a normal cervical curve?", the answer is I believe so, at least temporarily. If you mean "Do the traction devices that are supposed to restore a normal cervical curve really work?", I think most do. I know this from personal experience because I went to a chiropractor, he pointed out that my cervical curve was straight, and he gave me a cervical traction system consisting of a foam roll, a head harness and a 5-pound lead ball. After a few months of using the device, the curve did improve somewhat, but it went back to what is was before after I stopped using it. The important question is "Is having a normal cervical curve important to your health?" I don't know the answer to this question. Vik97

Why is traction sometimes needed for fractures?

Traction is used to help reposition a broken bone. It works by applying pressure to restore proper alignment. The traction device immobilizes the area and maintains realignment as the bone heals


Is application and removal of the first cast or traction device included in fracture care?

yes
