Mettler ME4200 Neural-Flex Decompression System / Cervical & Lumbar Traction Table with MTD 4000

Mettler ME4200 Neural-Flex Basic Decompression System — Traction Table with MTD 4000 Drive, Belt System and Bolsters

The Mettler ME4200 Traction System is Mettler Electronics Neural-Flex (4200) Basic Decompression System, documented by Mettler in its 4200 specifications. The system combines the Neural-Flex Basic Table with the MTD 4000 Decompression Drive (traction head), and this listing is configured with the belt system and bolsters as titled. Mettler describes the MTD 4000 system as providing static and intermittent traction, gently pulling the cervical spine or lumbar spine in opposite directions to draw the soft tissue around the cervical or lumbar joints and separate the distance between bone sections of the vertebra.

The Neural-Flex Basic Table adjusts in height from 18 in up to 43 in and includes retractable arm rests, neutral hand bars, a bolster-less leg elevation system for supine treatment, a friction-free locking and unlocking lower section, medical grade locking casters, and variable retraction with passive tensioning from an orthopedic spring. The MTD 4000 drive provides continuous and intermittent modes with user-definable hold and rest periods and treatment time, three traction speeds to reach maximum force, and a patient safety switch. Standard accessories documented for the 4200 system include Quick-Eaze belts, SlipStop traction blocks, the Clinical Cervical Device, a Core RB traction pillow and a prone forehead pillow.

Mettler documents the MTD 4000 Traction Decompression system for cervical and lumbar traction, and publishes a list of conditions associated with peripheral radicular pain for which the system may be used, reproduced under Applications below in the manufacturer wording. Facilities should confirm table power configuration (110 V or 220 V) and the belt system and bolster configuration of this listing before ordering.

Key Benefits:

• Table and drive as one system: the Neural-Flex Basic Table and MTD 4000 drive are documented together as the 4200 Basic Decompression System.
• Wide height adjustment: table height adjusts from 18 in up to 43 in to suit clinician and patient positioning.
• Programmable traction cycles: continuous and intermittent modes with hold and rest periods of 1–99 seconds and treatment time of 1–99 minutes.
• Three traction speeds: fast, normal and slow ramps to maximum force let the clinician select how quickly force is reached.
• Patient safety switch: a push-button safety switch (2-pin connector, normally closed) is included for the patient.
• Positioning features: retractable arm rests, neutral hand bars, bolster-less leg elevation and a friction-free locking lower section support supine treatment setup.
• Documented accessories: Quick-Eaze belts, SlipStop traction blocks, Clinical Cervical Device and traction pillows are documented for the 4200 system.
