2. During the setup of the SPIDER, the Traction Accessory is
inserted into the Piggy Back after the SPIDER arm has been
draped (Figure 3).

3. Ensure Quick Connect Lock is in the unlocked position. The
Connection Accessory (Lateral Shoulder Connection Bar, Wrist
Accessory, etc.) can then be inserted into the female Quick
Connect of the Traction Accessory. After Connection Accessories
are inserted, the Quick Connect Lock is locked to prevent
unintentional release of the Quick Connect.
4. Traction is applied in two stages:
a. Gross traction – grasp the Fine Traction Collar on the Traction
Accessory and the Slender Arm of the SPIDER and pull to
pretension the patient's limb to 5 lbs (2.3KG). Gross traction will
be reflected on the Traction Scale in pounds (and KG).
b. Fine traction is increased by rotating the Fine Traction Collar in
a clockwise direction. Traction is decreased by rotating the Fine
Traction Collar counterclockwise. If the SPIDER is released and
moved the traction reverts to zero and gross and fine traction
must be reapplied.
5. The Traction Accessory has an added function that allows
intraoperative adjustment of the rotational alignment of the limb.
During surgery, the surgeon loosens the cam on the Rotation Collar
and rotates the limb. Once desired positioning is obtained, the
Rotation Collar can be locked in place securing the limb.
6. The 90° Connector (Figure 4) can be used in place of the Traction
Accessory for any procedure where the measurement and fine
traction adjustment are not required. The 90° Connector allows for
the same rotational control as the Traction Accessory. Refer to the
SPIDER Limb Positioner Instructions for Use for more information.
