Frequently asked questions
Does this collar need to be removed for X-rays?
No, it does not. This collar is X-ray, CT, and MRI lucent, meaning the materials are specifically designed to be transparent during diagnostic imaging, allowing you to keep the collar on safely.
Can I adjust the height for a better fit?
Yes, the collar features adjustable bilateral fasteners. This allows you to tailor the fit to your specific anatomy, ensuring the correct height and consistent arch support for neck circumferences between 10 and 19 inches.
Does this provide effective immobilization?
Yes, it is designed to restrict cervical spine flexion, extension, and rotation with the same high level of efficacy as the original Philadelphia collar, ensuring your C-spine remains in a stable, neutral position.
Is there easy access for medical monitoring?
Yes, the collar is equipped with a dedicated, integrated trachea opening. This feature is essential for emergency airway management and ongoing clinical monitoring of the patient’s airway without requiring removal of the collar.
Can this be used for post-operative recovery?
Absolutely. This collar is suitable for a variety of needs, including post-trauma recovery, cervical spondylitis, herniated cervical discs, and post-operative care in both clinical and rehabilitation settings.
What neck sizes does this collar accommodate?
This model is designed as a ‘One Size Fits Most’ solution, specifically accommodating neck circumferences ranging from 10 to 19 inches.
How does the two-piece design help?
The two-piece construction works together to cradle the chin and provide total cervical arch support. This design ensures the neck remains in a neutral, stable position while allowing for easier application and adjustment than one-piece models.
Is this a medical-grade device?
Yes, this is a professional, medical-grade cervical collar made from high-quality, rigid polymer materials designed for clinical and emergency medical environments.
Will this help keep my neck in a neutral position?
Yes, the collar is specifically engineered to provide total cervical arch support, keeping the C-spine in a stable and neutral alignment which is crucial for recovery.
How do I secure the collar once it is on?
The collar uses sturdy, adjustable bilateral fasteners on the sides. These allow you to secure the two-piece unit firmly in place and make adjustments to the height as needed.
