Cervical Traction Head Halter
The Tynor Cervical Traction Head Halter G 10 is an anatomically designed halter that provides comfortable cervical traction to the cervical and upper thoracic vertebrae. It applies force primarily from the back of the head (the occipital region) to increase intervertebral joint space while reducing pressure on the chin, so traction therapy can be carried out comfortably at home or in hospital. This listing is for the head halter component only. Supplied by Australian Healthcare Supplies, a registered NDIS provider based in Perth, Western Australia.
Features
- Anatomical design with adjustable fitting for secure, comfortable positioning.
- Correct pull-force distribution that keeps force low on the chin.
- Three-layered PU-bonded fabric with hypoallergenic cotton stockinette for a soft, plush feel.
- PUF cushioning and a polymer gel insert give excellent support to the occiput with no pressure points.
- Polypropylene cord on the chin and occipital pads for strength, with MS clamps for safety.
- Portable and easy to use; suitable for home or hospital use.

- Cervical spondylitis

How to Use

- Fasten the hook-and-loop straps for a stable fit and trim any excess strap.
