Short Description

The Chattanooga MP-1 Triton Traction Machine is a clinical-grade spinal traction system used for cervical and lumbar decompression therapy. It offers programmable static or intermittent traction with digital LED displays and powered traction-force delivery.

During inspection, the device was found to have a mechanical issue in the release/rest cycle caused by a gearing fault. The traction pull is normal, but the release phase drops abruptly and requires repair before any therapeutic use.
