Riedi Compact 2e

The electric Riedi Compact 2e therapy table is a combined treatment and traction table with versatile use for traction and extension, uniting treatment and traction functions in one table. It is aimed at practices that want to perform traction and extension applications alongside classic treatment positions without a separate specialized device. Electric height adjustment ranges from 66 to 86 cm at 200 cm length and a width of 65 to 85 cm. As a combination table, the Compact 2e unites treatment and traction functions in a single table, allowing positioning and traction treatments without switching tables, an advantage when both classic therapy and traction are needed within the same appointment. As standard, the table comes with a central roller lift system and 70 mm wheels. The Compact 2e suits practices that need traction and extension treatments as well as positioning therapy, where a combination table avoids the need to purchase several specialized devices. Those needing finer segmentation for treatment will find it in the three-segment Compact 3e. A lock-out box compliant with the German Medical Devices Act (MPG) is included as standard: it disconnects the electric motor from the mains after adjustment, preventing unintended movement of the couch. The table supports loads up to 180 kg.

Riedi Compact 3e

The electric Riedi Compact 3e therapy table expands the combined treatment and traction table with a third segment for even more versatile use for traction applications with additional positioning refinement. It is aimed at practices that need finer adjustment to patient position during traction and extension applications than the two-segment Compact 2e offers. Electric height adjustment ranges from 66 to 86 cm at 200 cm length and a width of 65 cm. The third segment allows finer positioning during traction and positioning treatments than the two-segment Compact 2e, for example a separate adjustment of the foot section during a traction treatment of the torso. Electric height adjustment additionally supports an ergonomic working posture for the practitioner. As standard, the table comes with a central roller lift system and 70 mm wheels. The Compact 3e suits practices that need a traction table with expanded positioning options for extension treatments and value finer segmentation than the base version. This allows the torso and foot section to be positioned independently during a traction treatment. A lock-out box compliant with the German Medical Devices Act (MPG) is included as standard: it disconnects the electric motor from the mains after adjustment, preventing unintended movement of the couch. The table supports loads up to 180 kg.

Frequently asked questions

A traction table is a treatment table with an integrated or attached extension unit that allows controlled tension to be applied to the spine. It is used in orthopaedics and physiotherapy for treating spinal complaints.

The traction or extension set is offered as an accessory on most models and can be retrofitted as needed. This way a standard table can be specifically upgraded into a traction table.

The adjustment range is usually between 45 and 95 cm, electrically adjustable without steps. A low entry height makes it easier for patients to get on and off before treatment.

Traction tables are usually electrically height-adjustable, as the extension unit requires a stable, precisely controllable base height. The foot switch allows hands-free adjustment during treatment.
